PREFACE 


It  was  the  editor's  intention  to  publish  a  record  of  the  Class 
three  years  after  graduation  and  with  that  end  in  view  work  on 
the  collection  of  data  was  begun.  Shortly  after  that  time  it  was 
proposed  by  some  of  the  secretaries  of  later  classes  that  the  Tri- 
ennial book  be  omitted  and  a  record  published  instead  at  five- 
year  intervals.  This  plan  I  have  adopted  in  this  book,  which 
is  the  first  to  be  published  of  the  suggested  "five-year  records." 

There  are,  no  doubt,  faults  in  the  book,  many  things  not 
appearing  that  should  appear  and  some  things  appearing  that 
should  not  appear,  and  the  editor  will  be  glad  to  receive  any 
criticism  of  the  work. 

A  comparison  of  the  locality  index  with  the  permanent  address 
list  will  be  of  assistance  in  locating  a  classmate. 

The  editor  wishes  to  thank  those  members  of  the  Class  who 
have  assisted  him  in  this  work;  especially  Dick  Whittier  and 
Alec  Lawton  for  their  articles  on  Triennial,  Lowell  Clucas  for  his 
account  of  the  Alumni  University  Fund,  and  Cliff  Bates  for 
his  account  of  Sheff  since  1905.  Much  of  the  biographical  work 
and  the  preparation  and  compilation  of  the  statistical  tables  has 
been  done  by  the  Class  Secretaries  Bureau  and  the  editor  wishes 
to  express  his  appreciation  to  the  director  of  this  bureau,  Edwin 
Rogers  Embree,  for  his  personal  assistance  and  counsel.

Class  Secretary.

TRIENNIAL 

By  Dick  Whittier 

It  was  Sunday  night  when  the  writer  reached  New  Haven 
and  found  that  several  members  of  the  Class  had  preceded  him. 
Some  had  been  in  training  there  since  Saturday — a  few  were 
found  wandering  around  the  town,  and  others  were  reported  as 
having  gone  to  Momauguin  and  the  Rock. 

Monday  morning  the  crowd  met  at  the  Tont  to  get  their  torea- 
dor costumes.  Low  Clucas  had  ordered  fifty-four-inch  trousers 
for  a  thirty-four-inch  length  of  limb,  but  the  shears  fixed  that. 
He  and  Freddie  Becker  bought  out  an  Italian  organ-grinder  and 
made  their  fortunes  in  a  jaunt  about  the  city,  as  "Pedro  and  da 
Monk." 

When  everybody  had  satisfied  himself  as  to  his  appearance  as 
"The  Toreador"  about  half  the  Class  gathered  at  Heub's  to  dis- 
cuss lunch  and  "that  which  made  Milwaukee  jealous."  The  torea- 
dor song  was  tried  with  other  close  harmony,  and  went  better 
at  each  repetition.  Then  an  adjournment  was  taken  to  Momau- 
guin and  everyone  went  in  for  a  dip.  Stone  gave  an  exhibition 
of  the  "crawl"  and  Clucas  started  on  a  long  distance  swim  to 
Spain.  The  Class  decided  that  they  could  not  afford  to  lose 
him,  and  sent  out  a  life-boat  to  bring  him  back. 

Everyone  met  at  the  Tont  in  the  evening,  and  took  the  trolley 
to  the  Rock.  The  crowd  held  together  for  the  first  part  of  the 
evening  and  tried  the  "Human  Roulette  Wheel,"  which  didn't 
improve  the  costumes  any,  and  left  a  good  deal  of  cuticle  hang- 
ing around  the  floor.  Then  the  "Chutes,"  "Down  and  Out," 
"Tickler"  and  "Merry-go-round"  all  had  a  turn,  and  finally 
Mart  Baldwin  arrived,  immaculate  in  citizen's  clothes.  They 
tried  so  hard  to  get  him  on  the  roulette  wheel,  but  sartorial 
instincts  prevailed  and  the  "best-dressed  man"  refused  to  lose 
his  reputation. 

Tuesday  morning  Bill  Barber  called  the  roll  of  the  Class  meet- 
ing.    Ninety-six  responded,  including  Pete   Grant's    "not  pre-

pared."  The  Secretary  spoke  of  the  Class  Record,  and  after 
other  business  was  transacted,  the  Triennial  Committee,  composed 
of  Simmons,  Curtis  and  Barber,  was  reelected  as  a  Sexennial 
Committee,  with  Martin  Baldwin  as  an  additional  member. 

Then  the  Class  picture  was  taken  and  everyone  marched  to 
the  Hof-Brau  for  lunch.  The  shower  induced  the  wise  ones 
to  get  rubber  blankets,  but  it  cleared  before  the  march  to  the 
field. 

Out  there  there  was  a  bull-fight,  in  which  Pete  Grant  as  the 
forequarters  was  nearly  killed  by  an  irate  cop — a  free  fight  with 
the  Irish  Harrigans — and  when  the  Class  was  finally  seated  it 
bought  out  the  entire  stock  of  one  of  the  wet-goods  merchants. 
Wattie  Day  and  Colonel  Leavenworth  reached  town  in  time  to 
join  in  the  parade — married  men  have  not  the  freedom  of  those 
wise  enough  to  remain  single. 

After  the  game  the  Class  relay  team,  composed  of  Dolly  Gray, 
chauffeur,  Roy  Whitney,  Ham  Armstrong  and  other  longlegs, 
almost  won  the  great  pushmobile  race  for  the  Alumni  Weekly 
cup.  Dolly  steered  a  masterly  race,  but  a  leaky  carburetor,  tire 
troubles,  and  bubbles  in  his  think-tank  prevented  his  winning. 

In  the  evening  the  Class  supper  was  held  at  Elks'  Hall.  Fred- 
die Becker  distinguished  himself  as  a  band  leader,  and  Joe  Spencer 
pinched  the  Class  Boy's  cup  in  a  neat  speech.  He  must  have 
expected  to  get  it !  Then  the  Class,  headed  by  the  band,  marched 
around  New  Haven,  cheering  the  Faculty  members  who  were  at 
home  and  Judge  Taft,  who  was  not. 

The  beer  wagon  was  lost  on  the  way,  but  Bill  Barber  saved  us 
from  the  approaching  draught  by  finding  and  restoring  it  to  us. 
After  starting  several  conflagrations  with  fireworks  and  may- 
poling  around  the  flagstaff,  the  Class  carried  the  kegs  to  the 
Campus.  A  close-harmony  squad  was  formed  around  them,  with 
torches  stuck  in  the  ground  for  light. 

Late  that  night,  what  was  left  of  the  costumes  was  laid  away, 
and  the  official  part  of  the  reunion  was  over.  Several  remained 
over  for  commencement  on  Wednesday,  and  the  never-to-be- 
forgotten  boat  race  on  Thursday. 

Too  much  credit  cannot  be  given  the  committee  and  its  chair- 
man for  the  way  in  which  things  were  carried  out.     The  writer

had  an  even  Better  time  than  he  had  looked  forward  to,  which  is 
saying  a  good  deal.  A  brief  account  such  as  this  is  cannot  include 
a  description  of  all  the  fun  that  went  on  among  the  different 
groups  of  fellows,  nor  does  it  attempt  to.  Such  things  remain 
in  the  memories  of  those  who  were  present.  With  the  same  com- 
mittee to  manage  things,  the  Class  looks  forward  with  keen  anti- 
cipation to  its  Sexennial  reunion,  now  not  so  very  far  away. 
Those  who  returned  for  Triennial  were :

SOME  FEATURES  OF  TRIENNIAL 

By  Alexander  R.  Lawton,  3D 

'Write  an  account  of  Triennial!"  So  comes  the  word,  and 
the  faithful  scribe  sits  him  down  to  write  about — whose  Trien- 
nial? Mine,  or  yours?  While  I  was  at  Momauguin,  were  you 
there  too?  Perhaps,  but  how  do  I  know  whether  or  not  yours 
was  one  of  the  heads  I  saw  bobbing  about  among  that  floating 
mass  of  seaweed,  trash  and  humanity  on  a  certain  eventful  Sun- 
day afternoon  in  June?  Perhaps  yours  was  one  of  the  voices 
raised  loud  in  complaint  of  the  service  in  a  certain  place  of 
refreshment  nearby — and  perhaps  it  wasn't.  You  might  have 
been  one  of  those  kind-hearted  men  in  that  very  cafe  who,  being 
thoroughly  refreshed  themselves,  volunteered  to  assist  the  waiters 
and  bankrupt  the  proprietor.  How  can  I  tell,  and  would  I — 
should  I,  if  I  could? 

With  consummate  strategy,  my  honored  classmates,  you  have 
given  the  task  of  writing  this  account  to  another,  secure  in  the 
conviction  that  your  own  deeds  can  never  see  the  light  through 
the  window  of  his  pen,  and  oblivious  to  the  fact  that  no  man 
would  put  on  paper  the  record  of  his  own  for  that  week  of 
weeks,  thus  writing  himself  down  an  undignified  two-year-old 
that  he  who  runs  may  read.  No,  no;  that  honored  boss  may 
happen  to  run  and  read,  and  then,  where  would  be  those  three 
long  years  spent  by  us  in  putting  on  the  cap  of  dignity  and 
trying  to  persuade  him  that  it  fits? 

You  have  mounted  me  on  a  winged  Pegasus.  His  body  is 
made  of  Triennial  triviahties.  One  wing,  the  record  of  your 
childish  follies,  I  cannot  make  move,  and  the  other,  the  story  of 
my  own,  I  will  not ;    so  Pegasus  will  not  fly. 

But,  does  any  man  need  to  be  reminded  of  what  he  did?  Will 
not  these  few  days  always  live  for  him  as,  perhaps,  his  happi- 
est?— the  happiest,  at  least,  until  he  lives  them  again  three  years 
from  now?  Some  day,  we  must  grow  old,  but  no  age  can  rob 
us  of  the  right  to  come  back  to  New  Haven,  adding  each  time

BEFORE    THE    COMMENCEMENT    BASEBALL    GAME 


SOME   FEATURES   OF   TRIENNIAL  7 

one  more  link  to  the  chain  which  holds  every  one  of  us  to  Yale : 
a  chain  of  metal  which,  as  it  grows  older,  only  grows  the 
stronger ;  the  links  of  which  never  tarnish,  but  grow  brighter  as 
the  years  go  by. 

For  three  years  we  had  looked  forward  to  the  day  when  Tri- 
ennial would  begin,  and  now,  with  a  rush,  it  is  over.  What  have 
we  left?  A  perfect  host  of  memories.  At  first  it  was  all  like 
a  great,  hazy  fog,  and  we  had  to  stop  and  think  to  conjure  up 
the  scenes  which  we  knew  lay  behind  it. 

Gradually  we  see  ourselves  putting  on  costumes — most  becom- 
ing to  some.  Do  you  remember  how  well  our  brawny  president 
looked  in  it,  and  how  he  stood,  heels  together,  while  Dolly  Gray 
ran  in  and  out  between  his  giant  legs?  Back  there,  too,  is  the 
picture  of  Momauguin  and  the  Rock  and  the  roulette  wheel, 
which  made  us  roll  on  the  floor  and  hug  each  other  in  our  ecstacies 
over  the  new-found  game.  And,  of  course,  the  Class  meeting 
and  picture  are  in  the  fog,  and  the  impressive  figure  cut  by  one 
tall  and  lanky  High  as  he  arrived,  on  time  of  course,  driving  to 
the  scene  in  state  and  a  cab.  And  how  gloriously  we  sang  ''The 
Toreador"   as  we  marched  away! 

We  have  a  hazy  sort  of  recollection  of  a  baseball  game  and 
a  long,  long  dance  out  to  the  field ;  of  a  great  and  glorious  bull 
which  met  us  there,  in  charge  of  a  real  toreador  (I  know  he 
was  real,  because  he  had  a  mustache),  and  preceded  us  around 
the  field  until  it  met  a  policeman  and  temporarily  petered  out; 
of  how  we  yelled  for  Big  Bill  Taft,  and  fought  for  our  rejuve- 
nated bull,  routing  the  lion  of  1902.  We  remember  putting  a 
doll  in  the  pushmobile  and  pushing  him  gloriously  around  the 
diamond  until  victory  and  the  cup  were  in  sight,  only  to  be 
snatched  from  us  by  Roy  Whitney's  (or  somebody's)  long  legs 
getting  mixed  up  with  the  wheels.  And  who  doesn't  remember 
the  long  march  back,  and  who  cares  to  count  the  glasses  which 
were  emptied  to  quench  the  fires  burning  within? 

Back  in  the  fog  is  a  Class  dinner,  where  a  Class  cup  for  the 
Class  Boy  was  fittingly  presented,  and  most  fittingly  received  by 
the  happy  father  in  a  neat  extemporaneous  speech.  Paren- 
thetically, I  might  tell,  if  I  would,  how  a  fair  friend  of  Spencer's 
told  me  the  next  day  that  she  knew  that  speech  by  heart  and 


8  REUNIONS 

had  heard  it  eloquently  proclaimed  from  the  top  of  every  chair 
and  table  in  her  house,  but,  as  everyone  thinks  that  the  talk 
was  the  inspired  result  of  natural  eloquence  and  good  spirits,  I 
will  not  betray  him. 

Some  of  the  smokiness  of  that  fog  is  caused  by  fireworks 
which  we  carried  with  that  disregard  for  the  eyes  of  others  which 
only  Triennial  can  inspire.  We  remember  marching  behind  a 
band  which  was  possessed  of  no  sense  of  humor  at  all  and,  abso- 
lutely failing  to  see  the  joke  when  a  roman  candle  ball  landed 
squarely  between  their  shoulder-blades,  struck.  And  we  lost  the 
beer  wagon,  and  found  it  again,  .its  stock  much  depleted  by  its 
faithful  guardians  who  had  been  trying  so  long  and  so  hard  to 
find  our  noiseless,  lightless,  inconspicuous  Class. 

Then  came  the  distressed  wail  of  the  busy  marts  of  trade 
and  commerce  abandoned  by  their  leaders — a  call  which  we  heard 
and  heeded,  dribbling  out  of  New  Haven  train  by  train. 

But  every  Class  does  these  things,  or  something  equally  silly, 
at  its  Triennial,  and  it  is  only  later  on  when  two  or  three  are 
gathered  together  around  the  festive  board,  that  all  the  innu- 
merable little  "do-you-remembers"  take  shape  in  the  fog,  and 
make  our  own  so  far  superior  to  any  Triennial  which  has  ever 
been,  or  ever  will  be. 

Some  of  us  went  to  New  London  and  saw  the  races.  I  do  not 
think  I  am  taking  too  much  on  myself  when  I  say  here  that 
the  Class  extends  its  hearty  sympathy  and  appreciation  for  his 
efforts  to  a  brave  Yale  man  who,  put  in  the  boat  to  fight  a  great 
fight,  and  attacked  by  a  sudden  malady,  still  fought  on  until  his 
world  became  black  and  he  •fainted — revived,  picked  up  his  oar 
and  fought  again  until  a  power  greater  than  his  own  forced  him 
to  yield.  Yale  is  proud  of  that  sort  of  fight,  and  we  are  part 
of  Yale. 

Nor  can  I  close  without  thanking  our  Triennial  Committee. 
We  can  have  no  idea  of  the  work  connected  with  that  office,  and 
yet,  so  far  as  I  know,  there  was  not  a  hitch  from  beginning  to 
end.  We  got  our  costumes  when  we  went  for  them,  and  they 
fitted.  We  marched  to  the  ball  game  on  time,  and  our  seats 
were  there  for  us.  We  had  a  good  banquet,  well-served,  and 
ready  when  the  committee  said  it  would  be  ready.     The  fire- 


SOME   FEATURES   OF   TRIENNIAL  9 

works  were  there,  and  plenty  of  them,  and  it  wasn't  even  the 
committee's  fault  that  the  band  struck,  or  that  we  lost  the  beer 
wagon. 

Three  years  have  come  and  nearly  gone!  When  Sexennial 
comes,  let  us  gather  again,  as  strong  as  before,  forgetting  caste 
and  clique.  Forget  that  you  were  this  and  he  was  that,  remem- 
bering only  that  we  are  all  classmates  and  Yale  men.  Out  of  a 
true  Yale  democracy  let  us  build  for  ourselves  a  Yale  fence  and 
gather  around  it  with  hearts  still  full  of  the  love  of  Yale  and 
of  1905  S. 


THE  NEW  YORK  CLASS  DINNERS 

THE  FIRST  DINNER 

Six  months  had  scarcely  elapsed  after  our  Senior  Class  dinner, 
when  someone  suggested  that  it  was  time  to  again  call  the  faith- 
ful together  for  a  little  evening. 

Budge  Martin,  having  made  such  a  success  as  chairman  of  the 
Class  Dinner  Committee,  was  naturally  turned  to  for  a  sug- 
gestion. The  result  was  that  on  March  24,  1906,  thirty-nine 
good  fellows  sat  down  at  the  Yale  Club  to  the  first  New  York 
dinner.  Of  good  cheer  there  was  a  plenty,  and  the  singing! 
After  one  had  been  wrestling  with  the  high  cost  of  living  for 
a  weary  six  months,  what  a  pleasure  it  was  to  be  able  to  give 
vent  freely  to  one's  feelings! 

Waddy  Day  filled  the  toastmaster's  chair  and  with  his  ready 
good  humor,  prevailed  upon  various  of  the  talent  present  to 
unburden  themselves.  Dick  Whittier  and  Brick  Defrees  among 
others  told  of  our  past  glories  and  urged  us  to  further  greatness. 
Jack  Munson  offered  a  long-distance  cup  for  the  next  dinner, 
nobody  barred. 

The  dinner  was  voted  a  great  success  and  Martin  and  Barber 
were  appointed  a  committee  to  arrange  for  a  dinner  in  1907.

THE   NEW    YORK  DINNERS 


II 


THE  SECOND  DINNER 

April  13,  1907,  saw  another  goodly  crowd  of  thirty-nine  meet 
again  at  the  festive  board  at  the  Yale  Club.  Unfortunately,  some 
of  the  Class  who  had  been  with  us  the  year  before  were  forced 
to  forego  that  pleasure  by  pressure  of  business  and  domestic 
duties,  but  the  faithful  were  on  hand,  some  of  them  after  a  con- 
siderable journey,  and  so  the  number  remained  the  same  as  at 
the  first  dinner. 

The  dinner  was  good,  as  usual,  and  plentifully  interspersed 
with  good  harmony.  After  having  been  properly  primed  the 
company  was  called  to  order  by  our  worthy  president  and  toast- 
master,  Dick  Whittier. 

Roy  Whitney,  Joe  Washington  and  Bill  Barber  were  called 
upon  to  respond  to  toasts,  and  Jack  Munson  showed  much  ora- 
torical ability  in  a  forceful  appeal  for  class  unity. 

Joe  Washington  and  Mike  Sears  were  found  to  be  jointly 
entitled  to  the  long-distance  cup,  both  having  come  from  Schenec- 
tady and  being  roommates  there,  it  was  finally  discovered  that 
Joe's  (or  was  it  Mike's?)  bed  was  on  the  south  side  of  their  room

12  REUNIONS 


THE  THIRD  DINNER 


On  March  28,  1908,  the  third  annual  dinner  was  held  at  the 
Yale  Club.  This  year,  owing,  no  doubt,  to  the  fact  that  Triennial 
was  coming  on,  the  attendance  fell  to  twenty-seven. 

Lowell  Clucas  acted  as  toastmaster  and  kept  things  moving. 
Joe  Simmons,  as  chairman  of  the  Triennial  Committee,  told  of 
the  plans  which  had  been  made  for  a  big  time  and  we  all  know 
how  he  made  good.  The  most  acute  tried  to  worm  out  of  Joe 
what  the  costume  was  to  be,  but  the  half-shells  had  nothing  on 
him  for  closeness. 

T.  E.  Johnston  was  again  on  hand  from  Wilmington,  Del.,  and, 
while  no  cup  was  presented,  Johnny  certainly  deserved  one  for 
this  was  the  third  time  he  had  made  the  trip  to  be  at  the  annual 
dinner. 

Everyone  had  an  opportunity  to  talk  and  sing  and  great  plans 
were  hatched  for  Triennial. "

DINNER  OMITTED  IN  1909 

The  next  year,  1909,  the  committee,  after  consulting  with  var- 
ious members  of  the  Class,  decided  not  to  hold  a  dinner.  This 
decision  was  reached  after  a  canvass  which  showed  that  only  a 
small  number  of  the  Class  were  available  and  it  was  thought 
best  to  wait  a  year  and  get  a  big  gathering  in  19 10.  The  writer 
personally  is  in  favor  of  holding  a  dinner  every  year,  and  believes 
that  it  is  well  worth  while,  even  though  but  a  handful  can  be 
present.  These  dinners  not  only  tend  toward  Class  unity  and 
good-fellowship,  but  annually  renew  our  interest  in,  and  devotion 
to  our  alma  mater. 


THE   NEW    YORK  DINNERS  13 

THE  DINNER  IN  1910 

On  Saturday  evening,  February  19,  1910,  the  Class  again 
gathered,  twenty-five  strong,  and  made  up  in  enthusiasm  what 
it  lacked  in  numbers.  Dick  Whittier  presided  and  urged  upon 
the  Class  the  necessity  of  turning  out  to  the  annual  dinner. 
Every  man  promised  to  be  present  in  191 1,  and  to  try  to  bring 
a  classmate. 

Bill  Barber  reported  progress  on  the  Five-year  Record  of  the 
Class,  telling  some  of  his  troubles  in  collecting  data. 

Roy  Whitney's  arrival,  snow-covered,  from  Syracuse  was  a 
feature  of  the  evening. 

Brown's  trio  of  colored  entertainers  made  things  hum,  and 
at  closing  time,  Dolly  Gray  had  not  succeeded  in  finding  "K-e- 
double-1-y." 

The  evening  wound  up  with  much  close  harmony  and  every- 
body voted  it  a  big  time.

I  returned  to  New  Haven  and  joined  the  Poorest  School  Class 
of  1906  with  which  I  graduated  the  following  June.  The  only 
notable  events  between  .September,  1905,  and  July  i,  1906,  were 
my  trips  to  Maine  to  make  my  lumbering  report,  during  three 
weeks  of  which  I  lived  with  a  lot  of  dirty  'Canucks'  in  a 
northern  Maine  logging  camp,  and  the  spring  term  of  the  For- 
est School  held  at  Waterville,  N.  H.,  in  the  southern  part  of  the 
White  Mountains.  There  during  the  latter  part  of  April  and  the 
first  week  of  May,  we  encountered  much  snow  which  left  vivid 
remembrances  because  of  the  cold  feet  and  cold  shivers  it  gave 
me.    On  July  2,  1906,  I  entered  the  United  States  Forest  Service,

and  soon  afterwards  was  ordered  to  Arizona.  I  remained  there 
from  July  i6,  1906,  to  November  18,  1907,  doing  regular  forest 
assistant  work,  marking  and  estimating  timber  and  fussing 
around  timber  sales,  leaving  this  so-called  mountain  only  once, 
for  two  weeks  during  December,  1906,  for  a  visit  to  southern 
California.  Between  December  i,  1907,  and  April  i,  1908,  I  was 
stationed  in  Washington,  doing  timber  sale  office  work.  On  April 
I,  1908,  I  was  ordered  back  to  Arizona  to  join  a  cruising  and 
mapping  party  to  cruise  the  timbered  area  within  the  old  Grand 
Canyon  and  San  Francisco  National  Forests  and  also  part 
of  the  old  Black  Mesa,  all  now  included  in  the  Coconino  National 
Forest.  The  total  timbered  area  to  be  covered  is  considerably 
over  1,000,000  acres.  On  the  first  of  July,  1908,  I  took  charge 
of  the  party  and  had  under  me  six  'cruisers,'  a  cook. and  a 
camp  rustler.  During  the  summer  and  fall  of  1908  and  a  con- 
siderable part  of  1909,  I  was  in  charge  of  a  field  party  engaged 
in  mapping  and  cruising  the  Coconino  National  Forest  and 
in  preparing  working  plans  for  that  forest  and  the  Tusayan 
National  Forest  which  was  created  out  of  the  Coconino  in  1910. 
The  Coconino  working  plan  is  soon  to  be  published  as  a  Forest 
Service  bulletin.  vSince  then  I  have  been  engaged  in  general 
inspection  work  in  connection  with  the  work  of  the  parties  now 
cruising  and  mapping  the  national  forests  of  Arizona,  New 
Mexico  and  Arkansas."

Barber  is  assistant  attorney  in  the  legal  department  of  R.  Hoe 
&  Co.,  New  York  City.  He  writes:  ''After  leaving  college  I 
entered  the  New  York  Law  School  and  graduated  in  the  Class 
of  1907,  receiving  the  degree  of  LL.B.  In  the  fall  I  was  admitted 
to  the  New  York  bar  and  soon  after  entered  the  law  office  of 
Robinson,  Biddle  &  Benedict.  In  the  summer  of  1908  I  became 
associated  with  the  Legal  Aid  Society  in  New  York  City  and  had 
charge  of  their  municipal  court  department  until  the  spring  of 
1910,  when  I  took  my  present  position.  In  the  summer  of  1909 
I  took  a  short  trip  to  Europe  by  way  of  a  little  rest.  It  has 
been  my  pleasure  each  year  together  with  Budge  Martin,  '05  S., 
to  try  to  make  a  howling  success  of  the  yearly  Class  dinners  at 
the  Yale  Club.  They  can  and  must  be  made  such  if  I  have  to 
keep  at  it  till  I  grow  gray.  Triennial  has  been  the  brightest 
spot  in  my  existence  since  leaving  college,  and  I  hope  no  one 
who  values  my  friendship  will  miss  Sexennial.  To  me  the  Class 
gatherings  are  a  source  of  much  pleasure  and  I  do  hope  that 
I  will  succeed  in  arousing  that  feeling  in  every  classmate.  Let 
us  get  together,  fellows,  for  the  sake  of  old  times  and  keep  bright 
those  recollections  of  happy  days."

Club,  Schenectady,  N.  Y.  Concerning  his  career  since  leaving 
Yale  he  says :  "The  most  commendable  act  of  mine  was  a  three 
months'  loaf  after  graduation.  On  September  i8,  1905,  I  joined 
Swatz,  Swenarton,  Joe  Washington,  and  Lon  Knollmeyer  at  the 
General  Electric  Company  test.  Later  Kasey  Ogden,  Mike  Sears, 
Ed  Callahan  and  Jack  Clancey.blew  in.  I  soaked  my  skin  in  oil, 
grease  and  carbon  dust,  to  say  nothing  of  limburger  cheese,  that 
mysteriously  occurred  in  jumper  pockets  and  other  inconvenient 
places.  It's  over  three  years  since  I  absorbed  any  of  these  things 
and  they  are  still  oozing  out  of  my  pores.  We  had  some  very 
delicate  little  jokes  to  beguile  away  our  few  leisure  hours,  such  as 
burning  oil  soaked  waste  within  a  few  inches  of  some  sleeper's 
nose,  or  white-leading  his  shoes,  or  running  an  air  hose  up  his 
pants  leg  and  then  turning  on  the  full  150  pounds  pressure.  This 
was  fine  when  the  shop  temperature  was  zero  or  lower.  One 
of  the  regular  stunts  was  thawing  out  our  milk  or  coffee  at 
midnight  lunch.  Among  the  less  popular  but  well-patronized 
pastimes  were  hauling  cables,  sandpapering  carbon  brushes, 
pulling  waterbox  rope,  etc.  Such  work,  however,  was  only  while 
we  were  being  broken  in,  and  it  wasn't  long  before  we  eight 
from  '05  S.  had  some  of  our  juniors  'Hunyacking'  for  us,  in 
fact  in  about  a  year  and  a  half  four  of  the  number  were  assistant 
foremen.  Swatz  fell  by  the  wayside  to  accept  a  better  job. 
For  various  reasons  Kasey,  Mike  and  Jack  Clancey  left  the  com- 
pany. I  believe  the  rest  are  still  afflicted  with  its  employment. 
I  was  fortunate  in  escaping  hard  work  by  having  a  job  as  assist- 
ant foreman  'hove'  at  me,  later  followed  by  job  of  'Head  of 
Section.'  Ed  Callahan  came  on  as  day  foreman  of  the  same 
section  and  we  enjoyed  working  with  each  other  for  some  time. 
In  September,  1907,  I  was  transferred  to  the  power  and  mining 
engineering  department,  and  in  December,  1907,  to  the  estimat- 
ing department  of  the  New  York  office.  In  December,  1908, 
I  was  sent  to  the  New  Haven  office.  This  was  pure  luck  and 
I  think  I've  struck  a  permanent  berth. 

"Good  fortune  and  plenty  of  work  has  been  the  rule.  1905  S. 
men  of  my  profession  were  just  well  enough  along  to  escape 
being  pinched  in  the  panic  of  1907.  I  have  always  been  asso- 
ciated with  Yale  and  Harvard  men  and  this  has  been  one  of

the  most  pleasant  features.  Two  Yale  men,  one  Cornell  man, 
one  Columbia  man  and  one  Worcester  Polytechnic  man  are  work- 
ing with  me  now.  The  only  breaks  in  the  routine  of  the  work 
have  been  occasional  trips  to  the  Schenectady  works  of  the  com- 
pany, where  Callahan  of  our  Class  still  holds  forth.  My  parti- 
cularly close  friend  at  Schenectady  is  R.  F.  Emerson,  '06  S., 
whom  I've  just  helped  to  get  married."

has  one  brother,  Isaac  Amandre  Chapman,  a  student  of  the  College  of

He  prepared  at  the  College  of  the  City  of  New  York,  entering  Sheff  in 
Freshman  year,  and  taking  the  Mining  Engineering  Course ;  he  received 
general  two-year  honors  and  was  the  recipient  of  a  Sheffield  Graduate 
Scholarship. 

He  is  unmarried.' 

Chapman  is  with  the  Columbus  &  Hocking  Coal  and  Iron 
Company  of  Kachelmacher,  Ohio.  He  is  a  member  of  the  Pres- 
byterian Church,  and  concerning  his  career  since  leaving  Yale 
he  says:  ''After  graduating  I  returned  to  take  a  post-graduate 
course  in  mining  and  in  addition  acted  as  assistant  in  the  Fresh- 
man Chemical  Laboratory  and  also  in  the  Hammond  Mining 
Laboratory.  While  here  I  may  state  that  this  latter  building  is 
one  of  the  best  and  it  will  be  a  great  addition  to  Sheff. 

''Leaving  in  June,  1906,  I  went  to  Manhattan,  Nev.,  to  accept 
a  position  with  The  Tonopah  Exploration  Company,  and 
remained  here  until  November.  The  climate  here  is  delightful 
and  the  people  congenial.  Men  from  nearly  every  college  are  in 
and  about  Tonopah  and  Goldfield.  Columbia,  Stanford  and 
Berkeley  men  predominate  but  there  were  plenty  of  Easterners 
especially  among  the  older  men.    There  is  little  or  no  amusement

except  gambling  outside  of  Tonopah  and  Goldfield,  and  little 
enough  there.  However,  both  these  towns  have  good  clubs  and 
these  make  up  for  the  lack  in  great  measure. 

''After  leaving  the  Tonopah  Ex,  from  which  I  was  transferred 
to  another  company,  my  time  until  last  May  was  spent  in  out- 
lying camps.  Here  hunting  was  fairly  good  and  in  the  -canyons, 
or  at  least  some,  trout  abound. 

''Leaving  Nevada  in  June,  1907,  I  went  to  Iron  River,  Mich., 
and  remained  there  until  December,  when  I  came  East.  In 
March,  1908,  I  became  clerk  in  the  Insurance  Fidelity  &  Cas- 
uality  Co.  of  New  York  City,  but  in  November,  1909,  accepted 
a  position  in  the  Buck  department  of  the  Columbus  &  Hocking 
Coal  and  Iron  Co.,  at  Kachelmacher,  Ohio,  where  I  now  am."

since  leaving  college  he  says:  "Left  Yale  when  the  Class  did, 
and  enjoyed  life  for  the  short  space  of  five  weeks  in  Tennessee. 
Went  to  work  at  Griffin  Wheel  Company,  Chicago,  for  sixty 
per  month  on  August  i,  1905.  Got  three  raises.  Left  Griffin 
in  fall  of  1906  and  again  saw  something  of  life  for  a  month. 
Money  gave  out.  Came  to  Seattle  with  the  'Mucker'  in  the 
middle  of  December,  1906.  Didn't  get  a  job  although  I  tried 
hard  for  one.  Consequently  I  went  home  and  got  married  Feb- 
ruary, 1907.  Job  was  easy  to  get  on  return  to  Seattle.  Since 
then  have  occupied  the  following  positions :  Secretary  and  treas- 
urer of  the  North  American  Investment  Company ;  secretary  and 
treasurer  of  Russell  &  Dickinson,  Inc. ;  treasurer  of  the  Union 
Fish  &  Packet  Co. ;  trustee  Elliott  Bay  Iron  Works ;  auditor 
of  the  Great  Northern  Mill  Company;  and  vice  president  of 
same  company.  Occupy  all  of  above  positions  now  except  those 
with  the  North  American  Investment  Company  and  Russell  & 
Dickinson,  Inc.,  and  the  Great  Northern  Mill  Company.  Have 
had  an  extremely  happy  and  satisfactory  life  since  coming  out 
here,  and  I  expect  to  stay  indefinitely.  Have  lost  almost  as  much 
money  as  I  have  made  since  getting  here  exclusive  of  living 
expenses.  Our  son  was  born  on  August  8,  1908,  and  on  account 
of  his  pleasing  appearance  it  was  immediately  decided  to  afflict 
him  with  his  father's  name.  He  will  enter  Yale  in  the  Class 
of  1 93 1,  and  I  hope  will  have  less  trouble  in  getting  through 
than  I  did."

He  is  unmarried. 

Ewing  is  salesman  for  the  Dalton  Adding  Machine  Company, 
and  concerning  his  Hf e  since  graduation  he  says :  ''Since  leaving 
college  I  have  been  connected  with  several  different  concerns 
and  am  not  sure  of  the  dates  when  I  entered  or  left.  During 
the  summer  of  1905  I  had  a  vacation  till  the  middle  of  October. 
At  that  time  I  went  to  the  Commercial  Electric  Company,  of 
Indianapolis,  Ind.,  where  I  stayed  till  some  time  in  August.  I 
made  a  trip  to  Castleton,  Vt.,  in  an  auto,  leaving  St.  Louis  about 
the  seventeenth  of  August,  1906.  Spent  two  weeks  in  Vermont, 
and  returned  to  St.  Louis,  via  auto.  After  being  in  St.  Louis 
for  a  few  weeks  made  another  trip  to  Vermont.  This  was  some 
time  in  October,  1906.  When  we  decided  to  return  to  St.  Louis 
it  was  so  cold  that  we  decided  to  ship  the  machine  and  return  by 
train. 

"In  the  fall  of  1906  I  went  to  the  Fort  Wayne  Electric  Works, 
and  entered  there  as  a  student,  completing  the  required  time. 
Seeing  that  there  was  not  much  of  a  future  in  that  line  I  cut 
out  and  came  to  St.  Louis,  where  I  hoped  to  get  a  position  with 
some    electrical    construction    company;     but    as    all    businesses

were  slow  at  that  time  did  not  get  what  I  wanted.  I  obtained 
a  position  in  the  Ewing-Merkle  Electrical  Supply  Company  as 
salesman.  I  was  connected  with  this  company  from  the  fall  of 
1907  till  January,  1909,  when  I  went  with  the  Dalton  Adding 
Machine  Company,  and  have  been  with  this  company  ever  since. 

"I  have  seen  E.  T.  Stannard  very  often  since  leaving  college, 
as  he  is  connected  with  the  Federal  Lead  Company  of  Flat  River, 
Mo.,  and  manages  to  get  to  St.  Louis  now  and  then. 

"While  Jos.  E.  Washington  was  with  the  St.  Louis  branch 
of  the  General  Electric  Company  we  got  around  together  quite 
a  bit ;  but  since  he  has  left  and  gone  with  the  Studebaker  Electric 
Truck  Company  I  have  neither  seen  nor  heard  from  him."

started  to  handle  muck  stick.  Lost  too  much  weight  and  tried 
machine  running.  Too  good  for  this  work,  so  transferred  as 
chemist  to  Dixie,  Utah,  at  copper  smelter  and  Mormon  Paradise. 
Mormon  bishop  too  strenuous  for  me  on  the  tithing  business 
and  Mormon  girls  too  forward — dangerous  country  for  a  young 
man.  Left  there  for  the  Coeur  d'Alene  of  Idaho  as  mining 
engineer  at  the  Senator  Stewart  mine.  Unfortunately  Wall 
Street  got  a  slight  hold  on  F.  A.  Heinze  and  the  Stewart  shut 
down.  Struck  out  for  grand  old  Gilpin  County,  Colo.,  and  am 
now  developing  a  mine  here.  I  am  getting  to  the  top  after 
hard,  consistent  and  persistent  effort.  The  reward  must  be 
commensurate."

was  offered  a  position  in  their  shop.  I  accepted  a  position  on  con- 
struction work  with  the  American  Brass  Company  of  Water- 
bury,  however,  staying  with  them  about  one  year,  during  which 
time  I  put  up  several  buildings  and  a  variety  of  other  work, 
having  during  that  time  about  175  men.  Hard  times  then  dashed 
all  my  chances  to  the  ground,  and  as  the  company  shut  down  all 
construction  work  I  was  laid  off.  I  decided  to  try  boating  again, 
and  went  with  Palmer  Brothers  of  Cos  Cob,  Conn.,  traveling 
for  them  to  California  and  through  the  Eastern  states  until 
August  I,  1908,  when  I  proceeded  to  build  for  them  a  new 
machine  shop  of  reinforced  concrete.  I  finished  this  and  left 
the  concern  on  January  i,  1909,  and  went  to  boat  building  for 
myself  at  which  I  was  doing  fine  until  about  the  middle  of 
April  when  fire  destroyed  my  shop  and  put  me  out  again.  I 
returned  to  Palmer  Brothers  for  the  summer.     On  September  i, 

1909,  the  Birmingham  Water  Company  decided  to  put  in  some 
improvements  and  I  procured  the  position  of  construction 
engineer  with  them.     This  work  was  completed  on  January  i, 

19 10,  and  I  took  up  contracting,  putting  through  several  con- 
tracts between  January  i  and  September  i,  1910,  on  which  date 
I  accepted  my  present  position  with  the  Stobough  Construction 
Company."

We  have  built  a  house  on  the  hillside  from  which  we  have  a 
fine  view  of  the  city,  and  we  expect  to  make  Franklin  our  home. 
In  November,  1908,  we  took  a  pleasure  trip  to  California,  going 
via  Portland,  Ore.,  and  returning  via  the  Grand  Canyon  in

Born  February  21,  1884,  at  Chatfield,  Minn,,  the  son  of  George  Henry 
Haven,  born  at  Tyson  Furnace,  Windsor  County,  Vt.,  a  banker  of  Chat- 
field, Minn.,  and  Annah  Gilbert  (Johnson)  Haven,  born  at  Deer  River, 
Lewis  County,  N.  Y. 

He  prepared  at  the  Chatfield  High  School,  Chatfield,  and  at  Carleton 
College,  Northfield,  Minn.,  entering  Shefif  at  the  beginning  of  Freshman 
year,  where  he  took  the  Select  Course,  was  a  member  of  Book  and

special  honors  in  history  and  social  science. 

He  is  unmarried. 

Haven  is  cashier  of  the  First  State  Bank  of  Chatfield,  v^here 
he  has  been  since  October  i,  1905.  Politically  he  is  a  Republican, 
is  a  member  of  the  Presbyterian  Church,  and  secretary  of  the 
Board  of  Education  of  Chatfield,  Minn.  Concerning  his  life 
since  leaving  Yale  he  says :  ''Haven't  had  a  very  exciting  career 
since  graduation.  Have  been  pretty  closely  confined  to  the  bank- 
ing business  and  like  it  very  much.  Have  managed  to  put  in 
an  interesting  two  or  three  weeks  each  summer  Vacating.' 
In  the  summer  of  1906  I  went  up  into  the  northwest  corner  of 
North  Dakota,  and  enjoyed  a  taste  of  frontier  life  on  the  plains 
with  some  long  horseback  rides  and  walks  over  the  prairies. 

''In  the  summer  of  1907  I  had  quite  a  novel  and  very  interest- 
ing trip  through  the  mountains  of  eastern  Kentucky.  I  took  a 
Mississippi  River  boat  down  to  St.  Louis  as  a  means  of  getting 
a  little  absolute  rest  and  after  getting  over  to  Louisville  and 
south  on  the  L.  &  N.  to  a  typical  old  town  called  London,  I 
began  the  more  strenuous  part  of  the  trip.  With  a  darky  driver 
who  was  yawning  during  most  of  the  trip  except  when  he  hap- 
pened to  be  snoring,  I  covered  some  sixty  miles  of  the  roughest 
road  I  ever  saw,  and  by  about  ten  o'clock  the  second  morning, 
I  reached  a  town  called  Hyden,  the  county  seat  of  Leslie  County, 
it  is  alleged,  because  it  is  the  only  place  in  the  county  where 
there  is  level  ground  enough  to  build  a  courthouse.  The  moun- 
taineers are  very  interesting  and  quite  different  from  people  in 
any  other  part  of  the  country  because  they  have  lived  by  them- 
selves for  so  long.     We  have  all  heard  of  the  mountain  whites

and'  one  gets  from  reading  that  they  are  all  of  them  about  half 
civilized.  That  is  a  fallacy,  for  while  there  are  many  of  them 
who  live  in  hovels  in  an  almost  barbarous  condition  way  up  in 
the  fastnesses  of  the  mountains,  those  who  live  in  towns,  who 
have  been  out  in  the  world,  and  been  educated,  are  fully 
up  to  the  par  of  any  of  us.  I  spent  four  days  in  Hyden,  and 
then  began  to  wend  my  way  on  over  the  mountains  behind  two 
mules  in  a  'jump  wagon' — it's  no  wonder  that  the  mountaineers 
indulge  in  a  draught  of   'road  smoother'   occasionally,  or  oftener. 

"That  hundred  miles  and  more  across  the  Kentucky  moun- 
tains was  one  of  the  most  delightful  journeys  I  ever  made,  not 
because  of  the  comfort  and  luxury  of  the  trip,  but  because  of 
the  strangeness  of  the  customs,  the  glorious  scenery,  and  the 
spirit  of  restfulness  that  pervades  all.  I  went  through  the 
famous  feud  district  but  didn't  get  into  a  row,  nor  did  I  get 
too  thirsty  and  find  myself  in  the  clutch  of  the  law  for  'moon- 
shining,'  so  I  arrived  home  again  none  the  worse  for  my  trip, 
and  with  much  food  for  pleasant  recollections.  If  any  strenu- 
ous and  careworn  1905  S.'ers  want  a  novel  and  restful  vacation 
trip,  let  them  spend  it  in  the  Kentucky  mountains. 

"My  1908  vacation  I  spent  back  in  New  Haven,  having  the  best 
kind  of  a  time  with  Taft,  1905  S.  and  Yale."

Henney  is  a  lawyer,  practicing  at  38  Park  Row,  New  York  City. 
For  the  past  year  he  has  been  associated  with  M.  L.  Littleton 
in  the  practice  of  his  profession.  He  is  a  member  of  the  Yale 
Club  of  New  York  City.  Concerning  his  life  since  graduation 
he  says :  "In  the  fall  of  1905  I  decided  that  the  world  was  indeed 
my  oyster  and  that  the  best  place  to  open  the  said  bivalve  was 
New  York  City.  I  accordingly  put  on  my  old  gray  bonnet  with 
the  blue  ribbons  on  it  and  set  forth.  Deciding  that  a  knowl- 
edge of  law  would  in  all  probability  be  of  especial  value  in  a 
city  of  the  character  of  New  York  I  entered  the  New  York  Law 
School,  and  in  the  course  of  two  years  had  graduated  from  that 
institution.  I  had  in  the  meanwhile  been  connected  with  a  large 
office  in  the  city  thus  combining  theory  with  practice. 

''New  York  was  at  first  a  little  slow  in  recognizing  the  splendid 
new  talent  at  their  disposal,  but  in  the  course  of  a  year  or  so

up  the  practice  with  my  uncle.  Judge  William  F.  Henney,  of

of  the  Hartford  and  Springfield  Railway  Company,  having 
charge  of  practically  all  of  the  special  cars  for  picnics,  clam- 
bakes, etc.  This  gave  me  an  opportunity  for  plenty  of  fresh  air 
and  out-door  exercise,  with  the  incidental  study  of  human  nature. 

''During  the  summer  of  1906  I  had  similar  work  with  the 
street  railway  company,  but  on  Sundays  and  holidays  I  acted 
as  special  agent  and  dispatcher  at  the  end  of  their  new  line  at

returned  to  Johns  Hopkins  for  my  second  year  in  the  Medical

Grover  Cooper  Hubbell 

Residence — 1804  Ingersoll  Street,  Des  Moines,  Iowa. 
Business  address — Equitable  Building,  Des  Moines,  Iowa. 

Born  February  3,  1883,  at  Des  Moines,  Iowa,  the  son  of  Frederick 
Marion  Hubbell,  born  at  White  Hills,  Conn.,  in  the  insurance,  real  estate, 
and  railroad  business  at  Des  Moines,  and  of  Frances  Elizabeth  (Cooper) 
Hubbell,  who  was  born  near  Toledo,  Ohio.  He  has  one  brother,  Fred- 
erick Cooper  Hubbell. 

He  prepared  at  the  Lawrenceville  School,  Lawrenceville,  N.  J.,  and 
entered  Sheff  in  September,  1905,  where  he  took  the  Civil  Engineering 
Course,  and  was  a  member  of  Chi  Phi. 

He  was  married  on  September  27,  1905,  at  Des  Moines,  Iowa,  to  Miss 
Anna  Ramsey  Godfrey  of  that  city.  They  have  two  daughters :  Frances 
Cooper  Hubbell,  born  October  18,  1906,  and  Helen  Virginia  Hubbell,  born 
February  12,  1908,  both  at  Des  Moines. 

Hubbell  is  in  the  real  estate  business  with  his  father.  He  is  a 
member  of  the  Episcopal  Church,  and  belongs  to  the  A.  A. 
Scottish  Rite  Masons,  Golf  and  Country  clubs,  Hyperion  Club, 
Des  Moines  Club,  Grant  Club,  Commercial  Club,  and  the  Iowa 
Yale  Club.  Concerning*  his  life  since  graduation  he  says  :  "After 
graduation,  having  fitted  myself  for  a  civil  engineer,  I  imme- 
diately put  my  knowledge  gained  by  three  years'  'hard  work,' 
into  practical  use  by  going  into  the  sand  business.  It  certainly 
requires  a  'civil  engineer'  to  keep  at  the  sand  business.  The 
scheme  was  to  pump  sand  out  of  the  Racoon  River,  load  it  on 
cars  and  sell  the  same  to  the  unsuspecting  public.  After  three 
months  erecting  a  plant  I  withdrew  my  superintendency  long 
enough  to  be  married  and  take  a  wedding  trip  of  six  weeks 
through  the  Canadian  mountains.  When  I  returned  affairs  at 
the  plant  were  at  a  standstill — we  hadn't  pumped  a  grain.  But 
I  wasn't  discouraged.  By  using  a  sharp  pencil  I  figured  that 
after  the  plant  was  remodeled  it  would  be  possible  to  make  a 
little  'easy  money.'  While  my  spirits  were  soaring  over  this 
delightful  prospect,  a  smooth,  well-dressed  individual  approached 
me  with  some  'blue  sky'  to  sell,  which  he  called  stock  in  a  cor- 
poration to  manufacture  carbureters  and  radiators.  Blue  sky 
always  looked  good  to  me  so  I  invested — not  only  money  (much 
against  my  father's  advice)  but  also  time  and  some  of  my  ami-

able  disposition — all  of  which  went  under  a  cloud  never  to  come 
out  ag-ain.  By  spring  the  sand  plant  was  ready  for  operation 
just  in  time  for  high  water  to  wash  out  a  few  hundred  feet  of 
my  track  and  grade,  so  it  wasn't  until  July,  just  a  year  after 
the  plant  was  started,  that  it  really  was  in  shape  to  run.  In 
October,  1906,  a  little  girl  was  born  to  us.  I  think  she  was  the 
first  child  in  our  Class.  After  managing-  the  sand  business  for 
two  years  I  employed  a  man  to  assume  the  duties  of  manager. 
Since  then  I  have  been  associated  with  my  father  in  real  estate 
and  have  recently  been  promoted  to  the  exalted  rank  of  office 
boy,  with  hopes  for  something  better."

May,  and  Kennebunkport,  Me.,  in  June.  The  rest  of  the  summer 
I  spent  at  Lake  Placid,  N.  Y.,  having  a  fine  time.  I  went  to  the 
Maine  woods  for  the  month  of  September,  returning  to  work 
October  i.  Owing  to  the  attack  of  malaria  I  was  unable  to  get

I  secured  a  very  pleasant  position  with  a  suburban  real  estate

came  on  then,  and  therefore  I  had  another  vacation.  I  had 
secured  some  business  experience,  and,  tiring  of  vacations,  I 
secured  in  March,  1908,  my  present  position  in  the  bond  house 
of  White,  W^eld  &  Co.,  where  there  are  a  number  of  graduates 
of  other  colleges,  all  congenial  fellows. 

"Meantime  all  my  vacations  enabled  me  to  see  the  big  football 
games  in  New  Haven,  some  of  the  baseball  games,  a  boat  race 
or  two,  and  best  of  all  to  attend  the  Triennial  reunion  of  1905  S. 
On  January  4,  1910,  I  joined  the  7th  Regiment,  N.  G.  N.  Y., 
in  which  I  arh  enlisted  for  five  years."

winter  experienced  in  that  locaHty  for  over  thirty  years.  How- 
ever, after  I  became  accHmated,  had  a  very  pleasant  time,  as  with 
skating",  toboganning"  and  snowshoeing  it  is  an  ideal  place  to 
spend  the  winter.  From  there  my  travels  led  me  through  a  good 
part  of  Canada,  as  far  west  as  Winnipeg,  where  I  was  some- 
what disappointed  in  not  meeting  the  polar  bears  running, about 
the  streets,  I  then  returned  to  the  States,  for  the  other  tempera- 
ture extreme,  going  to  North  Carolina,  Eventually  got  back  to 
the  Smoky  City,  changing  from  construction  work  to  the  engin- 
eering department,  and  have  been  settled  there  for  over  a  year 
and  would  be  mighty  glad  to  meet  any  of  the  boys  that  find  their

life  since  graduation :  "To  comply  with  the  request  for  a  full 
and  connected  description  of  my  life  since  leaving  Yale  involves 
little  effort  on  my  part  since  no  eloquence  is  required,  however 
earnestly  I  might  seek  an  opportunity  for  employing  such.  In 
fact  I  do  not  need  a  superlative  unless  it  be  to  describe  the  even- 
ness of  my  life.  Our  committee  deplores  modesty.  The  truth, 
for  which  I  have  great  respect,  forces  me  to  be  modest.  After 
leaving  college  I  headed  for  Superior,  Wis.,  where  I  worked  as 
civil  engineer  for  a  few  months  until  an  opportunity  presented

itself  to  go  'cruising'  in  the  woods  of  northern  Minnesota. 
After  experiencing  various  hardships  incident  to  cedar  windfalls, 
starvation  rations  and  fruitless  searches  for  quarter  posts  that 
never  were,  I  went  to  work  in  a  planing  mill  at  Cloquet,  Minn., 
where  the  lumber  is  dressed  for  the  market.  Here  I  handled  a 
great  deal  of  the  'rough  green'  (but  precious  little  of  the  long 
green)  and  wondered  if  there  were  really  as  many  hours  in  the 
days  I  spent  at  old  Yale.  I  was  then  engaged  in  work  in  con- 
nection with  the  sales  department  of  the  Northern  Lumber  Com- 
pany. This  position  I  left  in  October,  1909,  to  take  up  my 
present  occupation." 


James  Perin  Kineon 

Address — Hempstead,  L.  I. 

Born  February  21,  1883,  at  Cincinnati,  Ohio,  the  son  of  Solomon  Perin 
Kineon,  a  resident  of  Cincinnati,  who  was  born  in  Perintown,  Ohio,  and 
Mary  Graves  (Goodhue)  Kineon,  born  in  Cincinnati.  One  brother, 
George  Goodhue  Kineon,  graduated  at  Williston  in  the  Class  of  1900. 

He  prepared  at  Andover,  Mass.,  and  entered  Sheff  in  his  Freshman 
year,  where  he  took  the  Electrical  Engineering  Course.  He  became  con- 
nected with  the  Class  of  1905  S.  in  Senior  year.  He  was  a  member  of 
Chi  Phi,  secretary  and  treasurer  of  the  Kopper  Kettle  Klub,  rowed  on 
the  Freshman,  Class  and  Varsity  crews,  was  vice  president  of  the  Baseball 
Association  and  was  on  the  football  squad.  He  was  on  the  Gun  Team  and 
was  secretary  and  treasurer  of  the  Intercollegiate  Shooting  Association. 

He  is  unmarried. 

Kineon  is  superintendent  of  the  New  York  &  Long  Island 
Traction  Company  and  of  the  Long  Island  Electric  Railway 
Company,  and  is  a  member  of  the  Episcopal  Church.  Concern- 
ing his  recent  life  he  says:  "After  graduation  I  decided  to  go 
farther  west  than  Ohio  to  gather  up  some  of  the  filthy  lucre 
which  I  understood  was  there.  Held  a  position  of  meter  tester 
with  the  General  Electric  Company  for  six  months,  and  not  see- 
ing anything  which  looked  good  to  me  there,  I  came  East. 
Started  with  the  Long  Island  Railroad,  in  electrical  department, 
where  I  remained  one  year  and  then  obtained  my  present  position. 
,  "The  most  striking  experience  which  I  have  had  was  my 
initiation  into  single  track  operation.     About  ten  days  after  my

location  in  Hempstead,  a  friend  (who  was  manager  of  a  rail- 
road in  the  West)  came  to  see  me  and  I  decided  to  show  him 
over  the  road.  We  went  through  the  different  substations  and 
were  on  our  way  towards  Brooklyn,  running  special  to  a  second 
section,  when  suddenly  a  car  appeared  around  a  curve  on  same 
track  but  operating  in  the  opposite  direction.  The  motorman 
appeared  to  be  paralyzed  with  fright  and  made  no  attempt  to 
stop  his  car  so  I  rushed  to  vestibule  to  assist  him,  but  just  as 
I  reached  the  former,  the  two  cars  came  together  with  an  awful 
crash.  After  pushing  the  wreckage  off  my  body  and  withdraw- 
ing my  head  from  a  door  which  my  cranium  had  punctured,  I 
assisted  the  passengers  from  the  other  car  and  then  lifted  my 
motorman  out  of  wreck.  Poor  fellow  had  both  legs  cut  off 
below  knees  and  died  shortly  afterwards.  My  friend  for  whom 
all  this  celebration  took  place  was  not  to  be  found  high  or  low, 
but  had  disappeared.  About  two  weeks  later  I  received  a  letter 
from  him  stating  that  he  believed  he  preferred  Western  opera- 
tion to  our  methods  here."

He  prepared  at  Phillips  Andover  and  entered  Sheff  with  his  Class,

OF   GRADUATES  8i 

lege  he  writes :  "When  I  graduated  in  June,  1905,  my  parents, 
to  'complete  my  education,'  took  me  for  an  automobile  trip  through 
Europe.  Since  I  took  a  Select  Course  at  Sheff  my  father  thought 
the  trip  would  answer  the  purpose  of  a  post-graduate  course. 
Having  taken  also  a  special  course  in  athletics,  and  in  order  to 
fit  me  to  meet  all  the  hardships  in  after  Hfe  (bachelor  dinners, 
marriage,  pushing  trucks  about,  etc.),  he  gave  me  the  care  of  the 
White  steamer  in  which  we  traveled.  Well,  I  don't  know  exactly 
whether  the  trip  'completed  my  education'  or  not,  but  I  do 
know  that  I  increased  my  vocabulary  (both  in  French  and 
English)  to  a  great  degree,  thanks  to  the  lack  of  steam  lubricat- 
ing oil  in  France,  four  blow-outs  and  seven  punctures  in  one 
day,  a  broken  crank  shaft,  and  a  few  other  such  trivial  things. 
I  also  believe  that  I  got  hardened  enough  to  withstand  the  knocks 
of  future  hfe. 

'^Upon  returning  to  the  States  in  the  fall  (without  an  accent) 
I  coached  the  Indians,  and  in  January,  1906,  went  into  garage 
work  and  the  manufacturing  of  autos  at  Huntington,  Long 
Island.  In  the  fall  of  1907,  when  the  panic  struck  Wall  Street, 
we  closed  up.  After  a  little  coaching  in  the  fall  and  then  a  trip 
to  the  South  in  January,  1908,  I  sailed  for  Porto  Rico,  where  I 
worked  on  a  plantation  for  a  year.  This  seemed  to  improve 
my  poor  health  greatly. 

"I  then  returned  to  the  States,  and  after  picking  up  a  wife  in 
Texas,  started  in  the  selling  end  of  the  automobile  business  in 
Cleveland,  my  former  home.  First,  in  February,  1909,  I  joined 
the  Buick  Company  and  got  a  glimpse  of  the  car  business,  and 
then  in  July  shifted  to  the  Studebaker  Company.  In  February, 
1910,  I  was  offered  the  position  of  sales  manager  of  this  territory 
for  the  Garford  Truck,  which  I  accepted.  I  have  been  at  it  ever 
since  and  expect  to  continue  until  my  fortune  is  made."

Ogden's  engagement  has  been  announced. 

Ogden  is  a  commercial  electrical  engineer  for  the  electrical 
department  of  the  Municipal  Gas  Company  of  Albany,  N.  Y., 
where  he  has  been  since  March  i,  1908.  He  is  a  member  of  the 
Presbyterian  Church,  is  a  Republican  in  politics,  and  an  associate 
member  of  the  American  Institute  of  Electrical  Engineers.  He 
writes:  'The  27th  of  July,  1905,  marked  the  beginning  of  my 
professional  career  when  I  boarded  the  car  at  my  home  in  Albany 
for  the  General  Electric  Company  in  Schenectady.  For  four  long 
and  weary  months — until  December  3 — I  made  bad  designs  for 
alternating  current  machinery  in  the  General  Electric  drafting 
room.  All  this  time  my  one  desire  and  hope  was  to  join  my 
classmates  in  the  'Test'  (testing  department).  At  last  my 
prayers  were  answered  and  I  struggled  through  a  winter  of  zero 
weather — working  at  night — doing  my  best  to  make  the  public 
think  that  the  machinery  which  passed  through  my  hands  came 
up  to  requirements. 

"That  was  pretty  bad,  but  it  was  child's  play  compared  to  test- 
ing steam  turbines,  which  fairly  enveloped  one  in  red-hot  steam, 
when  the  thermometer  stood  at  93  degrees.  This  was  the  work 
'cut  out'  for  the  summer  of  1906.  When  I  had  become  quite 
parboiled  I  left  Schenectady  for  the  New  York  Edison  Company. 
On  the  twentieth  of  November  the  engineer  of  power  of  that 
company  took  me  under  his  wing.  By  this  time  I  was  getting 
into  the  work  I  liked  best — commercial  engineering.  After  spend- 
ing over  a  year  dodging  across  crowded,  noisy  streets  and  diving 
down  into  crowded,  noisy  subways  I  accepted  a  position  with 
an  electrical  contracting  firm  in  quiet  old  Albany  on  December  9, 
1907.  Here  I  remained  until  March  i,  1908,  when  I  took  my 
present  position  with  the  Albany  Municipal  Gas  Company. 

"Having  postponed  two  important  events  in  my  career,  marri- 
age and  travel,  this  portion  of  my  autobiography  is  rather  bereft

"During  the  summers  I  found  employment  with  the  Adams 
Express  Company  until  the  summer  of  1908  which  I  spent  doing 
research  work  with  Dr.  E.  P.  Joslin,  Yale  '90  S.  During  the 
summer  of  1907  I  assisted  in  the  out-patient  department  of  the 
Massachusetts  General  Hospital  and  the  Boston  City  Hospital, 
working  afternoons  and  until  midnight  for  the  express  com- 
pany. I  continued  this  until  September  12,  when  I  was  made 
eligible  to  membership  in  the  'Vermiform  Appendix  Club.' 
Since  graduation  from  the  medical  school  I  have  been  assistant 
physician  in  the  Channing  Sanitarium  for  Nervous  and  Mental 
Diseases."

college  I  took  a  temporary  job  on  a  railroad  in  Wisconsin,  coming 
back  to  New  Haven  to  take  charge  of  the  1905  Football  Team. 
After  the  season  I  started  in  to  work  in  Waterbury,  Conn.,  for 
the  Scovill  Manufacturing  Company.  In  June,  1906,  I  was 
operated  on  for  appendicitis  and  on  recovery  I  came  West. 
Landing  in  Seattle  in  the  fall  of  1906  I  got  a  job  with  a  very 
fine  firm,  Merrill  &  Ring  Lumber  Co.  I  went  to  the  woods  and 
worked  on  the  cruising  crew.  Having  spent  some  months  learn- 
ing how  to  estimate  timber,  I  was  transferred  to  a  logging  camp 
where  I*  stayed  until  the  fall  of  1908,  when  plans  were  made 
to  go  into  logging  business  by  forming  a  logging  company  with 
George  H.  Snowdon,  '05  S.  These  plans'  were  given  up.  Since 
that  time  I  have  been  in  the  logging  business  and  have  been  buy- 
ing and  selling  timber-  for  Eastern  people.  I  have  been  living 
in  the  West  with  occasional  short  trips  East." 


Corydon  Palmer 

Address — ^48  West  Fiftieth  Street,  New  York  City. 

Born  January  2,  1884,  at  New  York  City,  the  son  of  Delos  Palmer,  a 
graduate  of  the  Baltimore  College  of  Dentistry  and  dentist  of  New  York 
City,  who  was  born  at  Warren,  Ohio,  and  Emma  Jane  (Banta)  Palmer, 
born  at  New  York  City.  One  brother,  Delos  Palmer,  Jr.,  graduated  in 
1908  from  the  DeWitt  Clinton  High  School. 

He  prepared  at  the  Dwight  School,  New  York  City,  entering  Shef?  in 
1902,  where  he  took  the  Biological  Course. 

He  is  unmarried. 

Palmer  is  practicing  dentistry  in  New  York  City.  He  is  a 
member  of  Psi  Omega,  a  dental  fraternity,  and  belongs  to  the 
First  District  Dental  Society.  He  writes:  "From  July  i  to 
September  i,  1905,  went  through  the  West  with  Darrah  Corbet, 
including  a  hundred-mile  tramp  through  the  Yosemite  National 
Park.  Dr.  Bradley  of  Yale  conducted  the  trip  through  the  park, 
acting  as  guide,  cook,  etc.  On  October  i,  entered  the  College 
of  Dental  and  Oral  Surgery  of  New  York  (West42d  Street)  for 
my  first  term  of  eight  months.  My  work  in  biology  at  Yale  helped 
me  greatly,  and  much  of  the  time  I  was  free  to  do  as  I  liked. 
To  fill  in  I  took  to  fussing,  going  to  dances,   receptions,  etc.,

thinking  I  was  having  a  good  time.  College  closed  June  i,  1906, 
and  I  put  in  the  time  between  then  and  October  i  on  the  south 
shore  of  Long  Island,  chiefly  at  Westhampton. 

"The  college  course  of  1906-07  also  was  easy  aside  from  the 
operative  work.  This  year  in  my  spare  time  I  was  of  some  assist- 
ance to  my  father  and  also  put  in  considerable  time  on  the  con- 
struction of  a  violin — truely  a  very  absorbing  hobby.  With  the 
exception  of  a  few  close  friends  I  mingled  but  little  with  the 
outer  world  and  spent  a  much  more  satisfactory  year  than  the 
one  before.  The  summer  of  1907  I  spent  at  East  Quogue,  Long 
Island.  The  course  during  the  college  year  of  1907-08  required 
all  my  attention  both  in  the  theory  and  practice. 

"In  January,  1906,  I  joined  the  Seventh  Regiment,  N.  G.  N.  Y., 
and  have  never  regretted  doing  so;  I  will  have  completed  five 
years  of  service  on  January  i,  191 1.  On  May  25,  1908,  I  took 
my  degree  in  dentistry.  My  state  examination  conflicted  with 
the  Triennial  dates  so  that  Sunday  and  Monday  were  all  that  I 
had  in  New  Haven. 

"Since  my  graduation  I  have  been  practicing  dentistry  and  am 
not  only  satisfied  with  my  choice  of  a  profession  but  feel  sure 
that  I  chose  one  to  which  I  was  particularly  adapted.  So  far 
I  have  escaped  the  sting  of  the  'Love  Bug.'  "

Born  November  6,  1883,  at  Yonkers,  N.  Y.,  the  son  of  Charles  Edward 
Perkins,  Yale  1870,  a  bookkeeper  of  New  York  City,  who  was  born  in

ber,  1906,  to  November,  1909.  He  is  now  in  the  estimating 
department  of  the  Otis  Company,  New  York  office.  He  is  a 
member  of  the  Yale  Club  of  New  York  City  and  the  Sycamore 
Island  Canoe  Club  of  Washington,  D.  C.  Concerning  his  career 
since  leaving  Yale  he  says :  ''After  college  closed  in  June,  1905, 
there  was  a  busy  summer  for  me  working  on  the  farm  which 
my  father  then  owned  near  Cornwall-on-Hudson,  N.  Y.  But 
in  September  times  changed.  We  moyed  to  New  York  City  and 
it  was  then  that  Cy  suddenly  realized  that  a  job  was  a  very 
necessary  article.  Nothing  looked  good  enough  at  first  but 
finally  the  Otis  Elevator  Company  offered  a  trial  as  an  appren- 
tice in  the  Yonkers  factory  with  the  stupendous  salary  of  nineteen 
and  one-half  cents  per  hour.  My  breath  came  fast  wondering 
what  could  be  done  with  all  that  money,  but  finally  decided  to 
take  a  chance  and  all  that  was  coming  my  way.  That  first  year 
was  a  dream  as  I  was  usually  half  asleep  owing  to  arising  at 
five-thirty  a.  m.  'to  punch  the  clock'  at  seven  a.  m.  Of  course 
some  fellows  would  have  made  up  the  sleep  at  the  beginning  of 
the  night,  but  how  to  live  in  New  York  and  go  to  bed  early  is 
a  problem  I  was  never  able  to  solve. 

"Well,  finally  in  November,  1906,  the  chance  came  to  go  to  the 
branch  office  in  Washington.  How  I  did  hate  to  leave  New  York ! 
Thought  it  was  the  only  place  on  earth,  but  found  that  living 
in  the  shadow  of  the  Capitol  was  not  half  bad.  For  both  business 
and  social  purposes  Washington  is  there  every  minute.  I  can 
only  say  that  the  two  years  there  were  among  the  best  ever."

Piatt  is  resident  engineer  of  the  Kansas  City  Terminal  Rail- 
way Company,  Kansas  City,  Mo.  He  is  a  member  of  the  Metho- 
dist Church,  and  of  the  Kansas  City  Athletic  Club.  He  writes : 
"When  I  finally  got  home  after  Commencement  1  started  looking 
for  a  job,  but  rather  hoping  I  wouldn't  find  one  too  soon,  as 
another  fellow  and  I  had  a  camping  trip  all  framed  up.  I  got  a 
place  as  rodman  on  a  surveying  party  on  the  Kansas  City  South- 
ern Railroad,  and  started  south.  It  certainly  was  hot.  I  used  to 
dream  about  Hugh  Reynolds'  back  room.  I  stayed  with  the 
Kansas  City  Southern  Railroad  until  the  following  spring,  and 
then  quit  and  was  going  to  work  for  another  road  in  Louisiana 
but  came  home  for  a  few  days  and  was  taken  sick  with  typhoid 
fever.  I  got  a  place  in  the  summer  of  1906  with  the  Kansas 
City  Terminal  Railway  and  have  been  there  ever  since,  long 
enough  to  be  one  of  the  oldest  heads  on  the  job.  This  is  a  com- 
pany owned  by  twelve  of  the  railroads  entering  Kansas  City,  and 
is  to  build  a  new  passenger  station  and  have  a  belt  line  around 
town  and  freight  terminals.  (Don't  forget  to  mention  we  are 
going  to  have  the  finest  station  in  the  world.)  I  was  out  West 
last  summer  and  looked  up  a  couple  of  my  roommates  but  they 
were  up  in  the  mountains  and  I  missed  them.  As  I  was  coming 
home  I  met  Klett  in  Salt  Lake  City.  Sleep  Thomas  has  been  in 
town  since  last  fall  working  for  the  government  engineers  and 
he  and  I  have  a  Class  reunion  all  by  ourselves  now  and  then. 
Ever  since  our  Triennial  I  have  been  looking  forward  to  the 
Sexennial  and  hope  we  will  all  be  there."

Manufacturing  Company,  and  of  Ellen  Laura  (Jones)  Plimpton,  born 
September  24,  1856,  at  Orient,  L.  L,  N.  Y.,  Mme.  Draper's  French  Semi- 
nary, '75,  a  resident  of  Hartford,  Conn.,  previous  to  her  marriage. 

He  prepared  at  the  Hartford  Public  High  School,  and  took  the  Elec- 
trical Engineering  Course  at  Sheff,  where  he  was  a  member  of  Sigma 
Xi,  and  received  the  first  prize  in  Freshman  physics,  first  prize  in  electrical 
engineering,  the  Loomis  Fellowship  in  physics  by  competition,  and  was 
recommended  for  general  two-year  honors. 

He  is  unmarried. 

Concerning  his  recent  life  Plimpton  writes :  "After  graduat- 
ing- from  Sheff  I  remained  one  year  with  the  University  as 
Loomis  Fellow.  In  September,  1909,  I  joined  the  students'  course 
at  the  Stanley  Electric  Works,  in  Pittsfield,  builders  of  nearly 
every  kind  of  electrical  machinery.  Before  the  summer  follow- 
ing, the  Stanley  company  was  absorbed  by  the  General  Electric 
Company  and  compelled  to  specialize  in  transformer  work.  This 
called  for  the  new  testing  equipment  now  completed  and  the 
largest  in  existence.  I  acted  as  assistant  to  the  designer  of  this 
plant.  In  making  the  changes,  owing  to  the  complexity  of  wir- 
ing, great  danger  to  employees  was  unavoidable,  and  I  was  fre- 
quently given  responsibility  where  many  lives  were  involved. 
Partly  because  of  this  perhaps,  but  mainly  because  of  irregular 
hours  night  and  day  I  became  temporarily  incapacitated  for  work. 
After  a  few  months  on  leave  of  absence,  I  went  on  the  road  as 
salesman  of  insulating  materials.  My  territory  included  Con- 
necticut which  permitted  me  to  visit  Yale  frequently,  and  here  I 
again  contracted  the  'research  fever.'  Always  kindly  disposed 
toward  one  so  afflicted,  our  Professor  Bumstead,  now  director 
of  Sloane  Laboratory,  offered  me  an  assistantship  which  I  have 
held  since  September,  1909.  I  am  studying  for  a  doctor's  degree 
in  physics."

near  Monroe,  La.,  daughter  of  William  Oliver,  a  cotton  factor  of  that 
state. 

He  prepared  at  Ferrell's  School,  New  Orleans,  and  entered  Sheff  in 
September,  1902,  wher^  he  took  the  Select  Course. 

He  is  unmarried. 

Richardson  is  financial  manager  of  the  John  P.  Richardson 
estate.  He  is  a  member  of  the  Presbyterian  Church  and  of  the 
Lawn  Tennis  and  Polo  clubs  and  several  carnival  organizations 
of  New  Orleans  County, -also  of  the  Yale  Club  of  New  York 
and  the  Point  Judith  Polo  Club  of  Narragansett  Pier,  R.  I.  He 
writes :  ''Since  my  graduation  I  have  acted  as  financial  manager 
of  the  Estate  of  John  P.  Richardson,  in  which  I  am  largely  inter- 
ested. Our  interests  are  real  estate,  timber  lands  and  cotton  and 
rice  plantations,  located  in  Louisiana,  Mississippi,  Tennessee,  and 
Texas. 

''For  the  past  year  I  have  spent  most  of  my  time  on  our  planta- 
tions in  North  Louisiana  where  I  installed  a  large  pumping  plant 
and  built  a  canal  system  for  irrigation  purposes,  the  results  of 


To8  BIOGRAPHIES 

which  were  very  successful ;  I  shall  extend  my  canal  system  in 
191 1  so  as  to  irrigate  a  much  larger  acreage  area. 

''While  I  consider  New  Orleans  my  home,  I  spend  the  greater 
part  of  the  autumn  and  spring  on  our  plantations,  and  I  have  a 
country  home  on  my  Epps  estate,  near  Delhi,  La.,  where  we  have 
about  11,000  acres  of  land.  The  hunting  in  this  section  is  con- 
sidered by  many  the  finest  in  the  South;  in  fact  ex-president 
Roosevelt  shot  his  bear  only  two  miles  from  our  eastern  bound- 
ary. I  give  most  of  my  spare  time,  however,  to  motoring  and 
polo.  I  have  managed  to  get  East  for  a  month  each  year,  and 
am  planning  to  take  my  vacation  next  June  so  that  I  can  thor- 
oughly enjoy  my  Sexennial  reunion." 

In  a  previous  letter  Richardson  gave  this  interesting  descrip- 
tion of  his  Southern  metropolis:  "One  of  the  most  pleasant 
events  since  I  left  college  was  when  it  was  my  privilege  to  enter- 
tain the  Yale  Glee  Club  in  my  own  home,  during  their  brief  stay, 
Christmas  of  1907. 

"New  Orleans  is  the  gateway  of  the  South  and  Middle  West 
and,  with  the  exception  of  New  York,  the  largest  port  in  the 
United  States.  Last  fall  I  was  a  delegate  to  the  'Lakes  to  the 
Gulf,  Deep  Waterways'  convention  in  Memphis,  and  I  believe 
with  the  completion  of  the  Panama  Canal  and  with  the  improve- 
ment planned  for  the  Mississippi  and  its  tributaries  in  this  con- 
vention, that  New  Orleans  will  yet  rival  New  York  as  a  port. 
New  Orleans  then  will  be  the  gateway  of  Western  South 
America.  A  hearty  welcome  awaits  any  of  my  classmates  who 
should  chance  to  look  me  up  in  the  Southern  metropolis."

Joseph  Martin  Schaeffer 

Address — 45  Hawkins  Street,  Waterbury,  Conn. 

Born  October  18,  1884,  at  New  Britain,  Conn.,  the  son  of  Wolfgang 
Schaeffer,  born  July  17,  1856,  at  Sulzbach,  Bavaria,  Germany,  a  machinist 
and  tool  maker  connected  with  the  Waterbury  Clock  Company,  and  of 
Pauline  (Wieland)  Schaeffer,  born  in  1844,  at  Laufen  a  Neckar,  Wiirtem- 
berg,  Germany,  died  in  1888,  a  resident  of  Stuttgart,  Wiirtemburg,  before 
her  marriage.  A  step-mother,  Errima  (Breuninger)  Schaeffer,  was  born 
at  Horkheim  a  Neckar,  Wiirtemberg,  Germany,  on  October  12.   1856.     A 


"4  BIOGRAPHIES 

brother,  Hugo  J.  M.  Schaeffer,  was  born  January  31,  1887,  at  Seymour, 
Conn. 

He  prepared  at  the  Seymour  High  School,  and  took  the  Mechanical 
Engineering  Course  in  Sheff,  where  he  received  honorable  mention  in 
German  in  Freshman  year. 

He  is  unmarried. 

Schaeffer  is  assistant  foreman  in  the  engineering  and  press 
departments  of  the  Waterbury  Farrel  Foundry  &  Machine  Co., 
and  concerning  his  recent  life  he  writes :  "After  scouring  around 
for  a  job  (with  $3,000  a  year  in  mind)  I  landed  at  the  Water- 
bury  Farrel  Foundry  &  Machine  Co.,  where  I  started  in  the 
machine  shop  at  fourteen  cents  per  hour.  After  working  here 
faithfully  one  and  one-half  years,  I  was  made  assistant  foreman 
of  the  department  which  has  about  one  hundred  men.  Here  I 
stayed  until  I  had  been  in  the  machine  shop  four  years.  Although 
I  had  a  fairly  good  position  the  work  seemed  monotonous  and  so 
I  took  a  month's  rest  after  which  Mr.  Candee,  '96  S.,  the  chief 
draftsman  of  the  press  department,  asked  me  to  go  in  with  him 
which  I  did.  I  started  in  again  from  the  bottom  in  the  drawing 
department  and  after  fourteen  months'  work  became  his  assist- 
ant. It  looks  now  after  five  years'  wait  as  though  I  might  be 
in  line  for  my  $3,000  dream.  Our  manager,  treasurer  and 
secretary  are  also  Yale  men.  Some  of  the  fellows  have  been  tell- 
ing me  I'm  not  natural  for  marrying  the  concern  rather  than 
a  nice  rich  young  lady.  My  folks  removed  to  this  city  from 
Seymour,  Conn.,  in  1907.  We  are  all  well  located  here  and 
happy. 

'*In  1908  I  began  teaching  drawing  in  the  evening  High  School 
and  this  has  since  become  additional  winter  occupation.  Beyond 
this  my  chief  recreation  is  playing  the  old  fiddle.  I  am  president 
of  the  Amphion  Musical  Club,  and  manager  and  director  of 
Nosahogan  Orchestra  which  is  connected  with  the  Odd  Fellows 
lodge  here.  In  this  I  am  very  much  interested  as  I  have  become 
largely  acquainted  with  business  men  and  a  good  sociable  lot 
of  fellows.  Our  lodge  could  do  justice  to  a  university  club,  since 
there  are  a  great  number  of  .university  men  in  it,  Yale  predom- 
inating. I'm  about  to  be  taken  into  another  fraternal  organiza- 
tion, the  name  of  which  I'm  not  at  liberty  to  state  as  yet.     Most

O.  K.  Oliver  Hooker,  '06  S.,  we  sent  off  on  a  honeymoon  a  short 
time  ago  and  with  Billy  Secor,  '06  S.,  whose  kidneys  wouldn't 
let  him  graduate  with  us,  and  Farmer  Gordon,  '05  S.  and  Zene 
Candee,  '96  S,,  we  had  quite  a  jolly  retinue  of  Yale  men  around 
the  shop.  These  are  practically  the  only  men  I  get  in  touch  with 
more  than  once  a  year  around  here.  'Has  anybody  here  seen 
Sanford.'  If  they  have  I'd  like  to  know  where  he  is.  We  were 
supposed  to  keep  up  correspondence  after  graduation  and  he  did 
write  the  first  letter  but  that  was  all  I  could  pull  out  of  him. 
In  my  opinion  I  think  '05  S.  Class  should  make  the  annual  Class 
supper  a  real  attractive  very  informal  reunion.  '05  S.  should  be 
a  society  in  itself,  a  dependable  aid  to  old  Yale  and  an  incentive 
to  all  grads  as  a  standard  to  pattern  after.  Unfortunately  I've 
not  been  financially  equipped  to  take  in  many  things  pertaining 
to  Yale  up  to  now,  but  will  endeavor  to  do  my  part  in  the  future. 
By  making  our  Class  suppers  an  affair  which  will  be  looked  for 
yearly  we  can  get  the  fellow  who  has  lived  in  obscurity  and  see 
what  ails  our  classmates.     'Here's  to  good  old  Yale !'  "

"My  second  position  was  with  the  American  Car  &  Foundry

men.  Lee  Gibbons,  '02  S.,  and  myself  had  rgoms  in  the  same 
apartment,  but  we  did  not  try  the  housekeeping  stunt  again. 

'Tt  was  not  until  I  left  Detroit  for  the  sunny  South  that 
I  realized  how  good  it  was  to  be  with  Yale  men.  There  is 
nobody  like  them.  Although  I  am  a  long  way  off,  I  am  not  going

our  Class."

Concerning  his  life  since  graduation  Smith  says :  "Left  Sheff 
June  10,  1905,  having  taken  special  examinations.  Went  imme- 
diately to  Seattle,  Wash.,  where  I  met  Mr.  O.  M.  Leland,  chief 
of  party,  Alaskan  Boundary  Survey.  I  joined  his  party  as  assist- 
ant surveyor  in  charge  of  a  sub-  or  'climbing'-party,  and  con- 
tinued to  hold  that  title  till  December  i,  1908.  In  the  summers 
I  helped  him  to  locate  the  boundary,  and  in  the  winters  I  did

and  he  returned  two  months  before  I  did,  leaving  me  to  close  the 
season  and  discharge  the  party.  In  the  winters  my  office  was  in 
Ithaca,  N.  Y.  I  was  the  only  one  in  the  office  and  did  my  com-

summer  after  leaving  college  I  became  chief  engineer  for  the 
People's  Coal  Company  in  western  Pennsylvania,  and  had  the 
engineering  work  of  four  mines  under  my  charge.  Remained  in 
this  capacity  for  a  year  when  Reese  Alsop,  ex-o^  S.,  and  I  started 
out  in  September,  1906,  for  a  trip  around  the  world.  'Did  up' 
pretty  much  the  whole  of  Europe  and  then  ran  over  from  Greece 
to  Egypt  and  on  to  India,  the  Malays,  Java,  China,  the  Philip- 
pines and  Japan.  There  Alsop  wanted  to  spend  the  summer,  so 
instead  of  crossing  the  Pacific  and  back  home  I  went  over  to 
Vladivostok  and  crossed  Siberia  to  Moscow  and  St.  Petersburg 
and  then  came  down  to  Berlin  and  Paris.  Loafed  then  for  a 
month  and  then  traveled  through  Denmark,  Sweden  and  crossed 
Norway  to  the  coast  where  I  picked  up  a  steamer  for  the  North 
Cape  and  Spitzbergen.  Came  back  to  London  and  took  steamer 
for  New  York  in  August,  1907.  Ran  across  Jack  Owsley  in 
New  Haven  in  October  and  he  persuaded  me  to  come  out  to 
Seattle  with  him.     Came  out  the   latter  part  of   that   month.

a  real  estate  man  of  Denver,  who  was  born  at  Monmouth,  111.,  and  Emma

October  after  graduating  I  took  a  trip  around  the  world  taking 
in  Japan,  China,  Straits  Settlements,  Burma,  India,  Ceylon, 
Egypt  and  Italy.  I  arrived  in  New  York  the  day  of  San  Fran- 
cisco big  fire,  so  left  for  Frisco,  and  spent  about  a  month  there 
looking  for  some  business  opening.  Finding  none,  I  returned 
home  and  started  in  the  real  estate  and  building  business.  Have 
specialized  on  residence  construction,  building  good  residences  to 
sell.  I  am  still  at  it  and  from  present  indications  will  continue 
in  the  same  line.  I  might  add  that  one  of  the  greatest  pleasures 
of  the  trip  around  the  world  was  the  almost  constant  meeting 
with  Yale  men  of  my  Class,  and  1904  Academic  and  Shefif.  On 
March  4,  1909,  I  was  married  to  Miss  Beth  Campbell  and  went 
to  Japan  on  our  wedding  trip.  We  spent  ten  most  enjoyable 
weeks  in  Japan,  taking  in  all  the  beautiful  spring  flower  festivals 
and  having  many  weird  and  some  uncomfortable  experiences  in 
Japanese  inns  away  off  in  the  interior  where  a  foreigner  was  a 
distinct  novelty.

He  prepared  at  the  Morgan  School,  Clinton,  Conn.,  and  entered  Sheff 
in  his  Freshman  year,  where  he  took  the  Mining  Engineering  Course. 

He  was  married  on  April  18,  1906,  at  Clinton,  to  Miss  Saidie  Helen 
Bacon,  of  that  town.  They  have  one  son,  Cedric  Hugh  Spencer,  the

Spencer  is  a  member  of  the  Baptist  Church,  Clinton,  and  of

"The  five  and  a  half  years  since  graduation  have  dealt  not 
unkindly  with  me  and  brought  me  back  through  various  vicissi-

berths  in  the  daytime,  and  covered  a  great  deal  of  ground,  liter- 
ally at  least,  during  the  first  few  months  of  my  graduate  'career.' 
In  this  way  most  of  the  largest  cities  in  the  eastern  and  middle 
western  section  of  the  United  States  and  Canada  were  visited 
under  very  agreeable  conditions,  and  many  representatives  of 
railroads  interviewed  with  some  success.  The  late  fall  of  1905 
found  m.e  in  Toronto,  Canada,  Avhich  at  that  time  was  a  center 
of  excitement  and  speculation,  over  the  rich  silver  deposits 
recently  discovered  in  Cobalt,  Ontario.  Becoming  interested  in 
these  peculiar  cobalt-silver  deposits  which  often  yielded  small 
fortunes  in  a  few  months,  and  the  meteoric  rise  of  their  stocks, 
I  became  connected  with  the  Unlisted  Securities,  Ltd.,  of  Toronto, 
handling  Cobalt  stocks,  and  eventually  was  made  president  of  the 
company.  During  a  trip  to  Cobalt  in  the  spring  of  1906  I  became 
financially  interested  in  a  'prospect'  of  promise,  and  a  company 
was  formed  to  develop  the  property  which  fortunately  proved 
to  be  a  'mine,'  and  by  December  things  were  looking  so  well 
that  we  were  able  to  dispose  of  it  advantageously  to  an  Eastern 
syndicate.  The  following  spring  my  other  interests  were  dis- 
posed of  and  the  following  summer  found  us  in  little  old 
New  England  for  a  vacation  and  a  good  time.  The  next  year 
and  three-quarters  were  spent  quietly  in  Clinton,  Conn.  The 
arrival  of  the  Class  Boy  put  an  end  to  idle  drifting,  and 
new  responsibilities  impelled  the  unreluctant  daddie  to  hit  the 
'Unblazed  Trail.'  Through  the  good  offices  of  the  Yale  Club 
Committee  on  Business  Information  I  became  acquainted  with 
the  Kolynos  Company  of  New  Haven,  several  of  whose  officers 
and  shareholders  are  graduates  of  Yale.  Kolynos  is  a  dentifrice 
and  mouth  antiseptic,  whose  antiseptic  value  was  first  made 
known  through  experiments  in  the  Sheff  Laboratory  by  Prof. 
Leo  F.  Rettger.  It  looked  so  good  to  me  that  I  'signed  on'  at 
once,  and  began  to  get  acquainted  with  the  *'bottom  round'  of 
the  business.  The  past  year  and  a  half  have  been  ones  of  rapid 
advancement  for  Kolynos,  in  which  I  tagged  placidly  along  until 
the  'bottom  round'  has  happily  become  a  useful  reminiscence.  I 
still  hold  the  Class  record  for  minimum  avoirdupois,  no  other 
contestant  (?)  in  the  Class,  apparently,  having  been  able  to  train

128  BIOGRAPHIES 

diately  after  graduation,  I  left  for  Harrisburg,  Pa.,  to  go  to 
work  for  J.  N.  Bastress  &  Co.,  engineers  and  contractors.  The 
pay  was  slight  and  the  hours  were  long,  but  I  was  in  the  business, 
1  wanted  building  construction,  and  I  soon  learned  to  call  a 
column,  a  'col-yum,'  and  cornice,  'cornish,'  and  that  ordinarily 
they  don't  stand  bricks  on  their  ends  when  they  lay  them  in  a 
wall.  I  fell  in  with  two  other  'civils'  of  the  Class  of  1905,  one 
from  Delaware  State  College  and  the  other  from  the  University 
of  Pennsylvania.  We  formed  a  trio  that  cheerfully  borrowed 
each  other's  clothes  and  money  (when  we  had  any),  and  did 
up  as  much  of  the  town  as  we  were  allowed.  One  day  Fritzi 
Shea  of  the  glorious  Class  of  '05  S.,  wandered  into  town,  and 
we  formed  a  'Big  Four'  that  lasted  nearly  a  year.  In  the  last 
part  of  May,  I  was  given  a  vacation,  and  when  I  got  home,  the 
attractions  proved  too  much  for  me,  so  I  resigned  my  job  and 
struck  in  with  a  Worcester  firm  of  contractors,  the  J.  W.  Bishop 
Company,  on  the  first  of  June,  1906,  putting  in  the  foundations 
for  a  big  mill  in  Woonsocket,  R.  I.  But  they  let  me  stay  there 
only  two  months  and  then  shifted  me  to  Fair  Haven,  N.  J.,  which, 
although  it  was  quite  a  distance  from  Worcester  was  near  enough 
to  New  York  to  allow  me  to  spend  a  goodly  number  of  Saturday 
nights  in  the  big  village.  This  job  was  a  long  one  of  thirteen 
months  and  it  was  very  interesting  carving  up  the  Jersey  land- 
scape to  make  a  big  country  estate.  But  when  it  was  done,  in 
September,  1907,  I  was  shifted  to  Clinton,  Mass.,  where  we  put 
up  a  big  mill  for  the  Bigelow  Carpet  Company,  working  there 
till  the  last  of  April,  1908.  My  firm  was  shy  of  work  then  and 
I  was  turned  adrift,  but  I  was  able  to  get  into  the  wire  rope 
department  of  the  W'right  Wire  Company  in  Palmer,  where  I 
had  charge  of  the  testing  room  and  later  for  a  short  while  their 
Boston  warehouse.  The  last  of  July,  1908,  I  got  a  position  with 
the  Central  Building  Company  of  Worcester. 

'Tn  February,  1909,  I  was  promoted  from  outside  construction 
(on  the  Sessions  House  in  Bristol,  Conn.)  to  the  home  office  in 
the  estimating  department,  where  I  still  am,  holding  down  the 
position  of  assistant  to  the  chief  estimator.

Baptist  Church  of  Hartford  and  belongs  to  the  Society  of  Pithi- 
tomists  of  the  Johns  Hopkins  Medical  School.  Concerning  his 
life  since  graduation  he  says :  *'I  spent  the  summer  of  1905  in 
Hartford,  occasionally  enjoying  automobile  trips  to  nearby  cities 
and  to  towns  on  the  shore  of  Long  Island  Sound.  In  October, 
1905,  I  entered  upon  a  four  year  course  in  medicine  at  Johns 
Hopkins  Medical  School.  From  the  day  our  Class  entered  we 
were  impressed  by  the  fact  that  we  were  in  a  graduate  school. 
The  methods  of  instruction  differ  in  many  ways  from  those  at 
Yale  and  'college  life'  and  'class  spirit,'  though  present,  are 
less  prominent  features.  Our  first  two  years  were  devoted  to 
purely  scientific  subjects.  Our  practical  work  began  with  the 
third  year,  and  we  then  had  a  chance  to  put  into  practice  what

facts  we  had  absorbed  since  the  beginning  of  our  first  year  in 
college.  I  spent  the  summers  of  1906  and  1907  in  Hartford, 
assisting  my  brother  in  his  practice  as  much  as  my  knowledge  of 
the  subject  would  permit,  though  I  believe  I  did  spend  part  of  the 
summer  of  1906  at  York  Harbor,  Me.  During  the  summer  of 
1907  I  served  on  the  staff  of  the  Hartford  Hospital  for  five  or  six 
weeks,  and  spent  a  week  enjoying  a  trip  on  Long  Island  Sound 
in  a  power  boat. 

"I  completed  my  course  at  the  Johns  Hopkins  Medical  School, 
graduating  in  June,  1909,  with  the  degree  of  doctor  of  medicine. 
From  September,  1909,  until  August,  1910,  I  acted  as  assistant 
to  Dr.  James  Bordley,  Jr.,  of  Baltimore,  Md.,  and  during  this 
period  served  as  clinical  assistant  in  the  South  Baltimore  Eye, 
Ear  and  Throat  Charity  Hospital.  In  August,  1910,  I  returned 
to  Hartford,  Conn.,  and  am  now  associated  with  my  brother,  Dr. 
Frank  L.  Waite,  in  the  practice  of  medicine."

Business  address — U.  S.  Forest  Service,  Missoula,  Mont. 

Born  at  West  Boxford,  Mass.,  on  August  18,  1883,  the  son  of  James

His  father  was  born  on  August  11,  1854,  at  Gorham,  Me.,  and  his  mother 
on  July  3,  1850  at  Methuen,  Mass.  Both  were  graduates  of  Gorham 
Seminary,  a  preparatory  school  for  Bowdoin. 

He  prepared  at  Andover,  and  in  Sheff  took  the  course  of  studies  pre- 
paratory to  forestry. 

He  is  unmarried. 

Whitney  is  at  present  a  forester  in  the  service  of  the  United 
States  Government  in  the  capacity  of  a  forest  assistant  and  is 
connected  with  the  Deerlodge  National  Forest.  He  writes : 
''After  leaving  Yale  and  spending  a  three  months'  vacation  in 
the  country,  I  obtained  employment  during  September  and  Octo- 
ber, 1905,  in  the  Massachusetts  State  Forest  Service,  in  the  capa- 
city of  a  student  assistant.  I  resigned  from  this  position  in 
November,  1905,  and  went  to  Parkton,  Md.,  as  temporary  assist- 
ant to  classmate  Howard  F.  Weiss,  who  at  that  time  was  in 
charge  of  a  cooperative  project  between  the  United  States  Forest 
Service  and  the  American  Telegraph  &  Telephone  Co. — experi- 
mental work  in  the  grading,  seasoning  and  preservative  treatment 
of  chestnut  telephone  poles.  I  remained  at  Parkton  until  Octo- 
ber I,  1906,  then  entered  the  Graduate  School  of  the  Univer- 
sity of  Michigan  as  a  forestry  student.  Spent  one  year  at  Ann 
Arbor,  then  on  July  i,  1907,  was  admitted  to  the  United  States 
Forest  Service.  Since  that  time  have  been  continuously  in  the 
employ  of  the  Government  as  a  forest  assistant,  and  have  had 
quite  a  varied  experience. 

''My  first  assignment  was  to  the  Shoshone  Forest  with  head- 
quarters at  Cody,  Wyo.  This  covered  the  period  from  July  12, 
1907,  to  October  i,  1908.  I  found  the  experience  on  the  Sho-

shone  valuable  in  that  it  afforded  a  good  opportunity  to  get 
broken  into  Western  ways.  Most  of  the  work  given  me  there 
differed  but  little  from  that  of  the  rangers  and  by  living  and 
working  with  them  I  gradually  discarded  some  'tenderfoot'  ideas, 
learned  something  of  the  Western  code,  and  how  to  get  along 
comfortably  in  the  mountains.  On  October  i,  1908,  I  was  trans- 
ferred from  Cody,  Wyo.,  to  Kalispell,  Mont.,  to  take  up  timber 
sale  work  on  the  Blackfoot  National  Forest.  The  first  six 
months  on  the  Blackfoot  was  spent  in  the  woods,  at  a  logging 
camp  of  the  Eureka  Lumber  Company,  which  had  purchased 
twenty-seven  million  feet,  B.  M.,  of  timber  from  the  Government. 
At  the  end  of  this  time  I  was  called  away  from  the  sale,  and 
for  the  next  three  months  was  engaged  principally  in  surveying 
and  reporting  claims  applied  for  under  the  Forest  Homestead 
Act  of  June  11,  1906.  On  July  i,  1909,  I  was  given  my  third 
transfer,  this  being  from  Kalispell  to  Thompson  Falls,  Mont., 
where  I  was  assigned  to  boundary  work  on  the  Cabinet  Forest. 
I  put  in  three  months  on  the  Cabinet,  examining  160  miles  of 
boundary  along  the  Thompson  River  Valley  during  that  time. 
I  was  then  ordered  to  return  to  Kalispell.  After  my  recall  from 
the  Cabinet  I  was  forest  assistant  again  on  the  Blackfoot  for  six 
months,  then  on  April  i,  1910,  was  called  to  the  district  office 
at  Missoula  and  detailed  to  the  Deerlodge  National  Forest  to  do 
yield  table  and  reconnaissance  work.  I  am  still  on  the  Deerlodge 
with  headquarters  at  Anaconda."

Catherine  Whitney,  born  May  14,  1907,  at  Plainfield,  N.  J. 

Whitney  is  salesman  and  engineer  for  the  M.  W.  Kellogg-  Com-

He  is  an  Episcopalian  and  a  member  of  the  New  York  Yale  Club 
and  the  Morris  County  Golf  Club.  He  writes  :  "After  surprising 
myself  by  graduating  I  retired  to  the  Adirondack  Mountains  to 
recuperate.  By  September  15,  1905,  my  brain  was  sufficiently 
resuscitated  to  allow  me  to  take  a  trip  with  my  family.  On  this 
trip  we  inspected  a  lead  and  zinc  mine  in  the  northeast  corner 
of  Indian  Territory.  The  tract  of  land  is  known  as  the  Quapaw 
Reservation,  the  mine  being  four  miles  from  Baxter  Springs, 
Kan.,  which  temperance  town  is  located  about  twenty-five  miles 
from  Joplin,  Mo.,  which  is  not  by  any  means  a  temperance 
town. 

''After  seeing  only  the  'prospects'  of  what  promised  to  be  a 
great  deposit  of  treasure,  I  decided  to  go  to  work  for  the 
Quivira  Lead  &  Zinc  Co.  I  started  in  about  November  i,  1905, 
and  learned  the  art  of  pushing  a  scoop  shovel  and  running  a 
steam  drill.  I  was  promoted  to  superintendent  sometime  in 
March,  1906,  but  the  treasure  still  secluded  itself.  I  came  East 
the  early  part  of  June,  1906,  and  after  our  engagement  was 
announced  we  attended  the  boat  races,  and  then  visited  in  the 
Adirondacks.  The  funds  of  Quivira  (the  lost  golden  city  of 
South  America)  had  given  out,  so  I  did  not  return  to  the  mines. 
I  secured  a  job  with  the  M.  W.  Kellogg  Company  in  August 
and  went  to  work  in  the  shops  September  i,  1906.  We  were 
married  September  8,  1906,  and  after  a  shgrt  trip  we  took  up 
our  abode  in  Jersey  City.  I  worked  in  the  shops  trying  to  learn 
the  business  until  May  i,  1908,  I  was  then  transferred  to  the 
New  York  office  and  put  on  the  selling  end  of  the  business. 
During  this  time  we  lived  in  Jersey  City  till  February,  1907,  then

in  this  metropolis  where  we  resided  until  April  i,  1908.  About 
this  time  my  father  gave  us  a  house  in  Morristown,  where  I 
can  still  be  found  evenings,  Sundays  and  holidays."

Sheff  in  1904,  where  he  took  the  Civil  Engineering  Course.  He  was 
awarded  honors  in  French. 

He  is  unmarried. 

Winthrop  is  assistant  engineer  for  the  Southern  Power  Com- 
pany. He  is  a  member  of  the  Catholic  Church,  and  concerning- 
his  recent  Hfe  he  writes:  ''After  graduating  in  1905  I  decided 
to  take  a  P.  G.  course,  so  I  stayed  through  1906  at  New  Haven, 
and  the  following  year  took  a  position  with  the  Southern  Power 
Company  in  Charlotte,  N.  C.  This  company  is  doing  quite  a 
large  amount  of  work  developing  hydro-electric  plants  in  North 
and  South  Carolina.  After  working  with  them  through  1907, 
I  returned  to  New  .Haven  and  received  my  C.E.  degree.  For  a 
thesis  I  wrote  a  paper  on  'The  Design  of  Masonry  Dams.' 
Since  then  I  have  remained  continuously  with  the  Southern 
Power  Company,  excepting  the  time  during  the  late  panic  when 
with  most  of  the  other  forces  I  was  laid  off  for  a  while.  Since 
August,  1909,  I  have  been  stationed  near  Blacksburg,  S.  C,  where 
the  Southern  Power  Company  has  just  completed  a  thirty  thou- 
sand H.  P.  development.  On  this  job  I  was  first  assistant.  At 
various  times  (dates  not  remembered)  I  have  been  on  river  sur- 
veys with  reference  to  water  power  development  and  sites  for 
dams.  I  have  located  pole  and  tower  transmission  lines  in  many 
parts  of  North  and  South  Carolina.  In  short  I  have  done  engi- 
neering from  laying  sewer  pipes  to  rigging  gin  poles.  Enough 
for  the  work  line. 

"As  to  my  travels  I  have  not  been  around  much.  From  New 
Haven  to  Florida  has  been  my  line  whenever  I  traveled,  and  I 
know  this  country  pretty  well.  There  is  a  lot  of  country  I 
hope  yet  to  visit."

George  Yavroumis 

Business  address — Brewerton,  N.  Y. 
Permanent  address — State  Engineer's  Office,   Syracuse,   N.   Y. 

Born  October  27,  1882,  at  Uytina,  Greece,  the  son  of  Constantine 
Yavroumis,  a  tailor,  and  Elizabeth  (Yavis)  Yavroumis,  both  born  at 
Uytina.  He  has  four  brothers :  Demosthenes  Yavroumis,  Sophocles 
Yavroumis,  John  Yavroumis,  and  Homer  Yavroumis,  the  last  three 
being  students  in  the  public  schools  of  Greece. 

He  prepared  at  the  Greek  Gymnasium,  Demetsana,  Greece,  and  the 
American  International  College,  Springfield,  Mass.,  entering  Sheff  in 
October,  1903,  where  he  took  the  Civil  Engineering  Course.     . 

He  is  unmarried. 

Yavroumis  is  a  civil  engineer  for  the  state  of  New  York.  In 
1908  he  gave  the  following  comprehensive  account  of  himself : 
"As  I  look  back  on  the  first  few  weeks  after  leaving  Yale,  I 
thank  my  stars  that  they  are  over,  and  hope  never  again  to  see 
four  such  weeks.  It  was  a  sad  fact  that  the  'fullness'  of  my 
head  could  not  take  my  mind  of¥  the  emptiness  of  my  purse. 
And  the  worst  of  all  was  that,  although  I  realized  that  some- 
how there  must  be  a  way  for  helping  the  emptiness  of  my  purse 
by  the  'fullness'  of  my  head,  still  I  did  not  know  how  to  go 
about  it. 

"It  was  the  fourth  of  August,  1905,  that  I  started  checking  in 
a  ninth  story  room  on  Fifth  Avenue,  New  York  City.  Being  a 
novice,  the  strain  of  constant  computing  wrought  such  an  effect 
that  I  got  out  of  it  as  quick  as  I  could. 

"The  fourteenth  of  September,  1905,  I  saw  the  sun  rise  on 
the  mountains  surrounding  Lake  Placid,  New  York,  and  what 
a  change  from  a  close  room  in  a  big  city  to  the  open  air  and 
scenery  in  the  heart  of  the  Adirondacks !  There  I  spent  the  next 
three  months  surveying  for  a  sewer  line  through  the  woods  to 
a  hotel.  Cold  weather  necessitating  'closing  shop,'  January  8, 
1906,  found  me  among  the  marshes  of  Cape  May,  working  for 
a  real  estate  company.  Those  who  have  had  'fishermen's  luck' 
can  appreciate  how  pleasant  was  the  work  of  setting  grade  stakes 
where  hydraulic  dredges  had  been  pumping  the  day  before !  The 
early  spring  brought  me  a  desirable  change.     On  March  25  I

left. the  real  estate  company  to  take  charge  of  sewer  work  as 
assistant  City  Engineer  of  the  city  of  Cape  May,  a  position  that 
I  held  until  September  13,  1906,  when  I  resigned  to  enter  the 
service  of  the  state  of  New  York  as  'leveler/  and  I  am  in  the 
same  service  still. 

"For  eight  months  I  was  in  the  division  of  highways — since 
then  on  the  canals.  Next  summer  [1909]  I  shall  try  to  again 
get  on  the  highways  department,  as  the  work  is  pleasanter  and 
more  adapted  to  develop  a  man's  self-confidence.  By  that  time 
I  am  anticipating  my  appointment  as  'assistant  engineer,'  a 
position  for  which  I  have  passed  the  civil  service  examinations 
since  last  June. 

"For  the  benefit  of  other  engineers  desirous  of  entering  the 
state  service,  I  may  say  it  is  not  hard,  and  open  to  all  citizens 
of  the  United  States.  The  salary  is  high,  measured  by  the  work 
a  man  does,  and  low,  considering  the  work  that  he  is  supposed 
to  be  able  to  do.  True,  there  are  disadvantages :  one  does  not 
know  whether  the  next  morning's  mail  will  not  bring  an  order 
for  him  to  report  to  another  city  or  village — but  there  are  advan- 
tages: an  assurance  of  easy  work  and  steady  employment. 
Although  having  been  two  years  in  the  state  service,  I  have  never 
yet  met  a  civil  service  Yale  man  in  the  employ  of  the  state  of 
New  York."

Business  address — Care  Salts   Textile   Manufacturing  Company,   Bridge- 
port,  Conn. 
Permanent  address — 1271   Noble  Avenue,  Bridgeport,  Conn. 

Born  February  13,  1883,  at  Saltaire,  Yorkshire,  England,  the  son  of 
William  Greaves  Ledgard  Crabtree  of  Bridgeport  and  Annie  (Nichol- 
son) Crabtree,  both  born  at  Bradford,  Yorkshire,  England.  He  has 
one  brother,  Harry  Ledgard  Crabtree. 

He  took  a  private  course  at  the  Bridgeport  High  School  under  the 
tutorship  of  Professor  F.  C.  Stanley,  Ph.D.,  and  entered  Sheflf  in  1903, 
where  he  took  the  Chemistry  Course. 

He  was  married  on  June  10,  1909,  to  Miss  Emma  Adelaide  Noth- 
nagle  of  Bridgeport. 

Crabtree  is  a  chemist  with  the  Salts  Textile  Manufacturing 
Company,  of  Bridgeport,  Conn.  He  is  a  member  of  Washington 
Park  Methodist  Episcopal  Church,  and  belongs  to  the  Criterion 
Club  and  to  the  Order  of  Odd  Fellows.  Concerning  his  life  since 
leaving  Yale  he  says :  "Having  been  engaged  as  chemist  pre- 
vious to  finishing  my  course  at  Yale,  it  did  not  take  me  long  after 
leaving  college  'to  get  busy.'  I  had  no  more  than  'got  busy/ 
however,  when  it  was  proposed  that  I  was  to  take  a  business  trip 
to  Germany ;  so  on  the  Fourth  of  July,  1905,  with  a  good  send-off 
I  set  sail  on  the  good  ship,  Kaiser  Wilhelm  der  Grosse,  to  the 
fatherland,  where  in  addition  to  business  I  took  a  course  in 
chemistry  of  dyestuffs  in  the  laboratory  of  the  largest  dyestuff 
manufacturing  plant  in  the  world,  the  Farbenfabriken  Freidr. 
Bayer  &  Co.,  in  Elberfeld.  It  is  of  interest  to  state  that  on  a 
trip  to  London  the  first  part  of  September,  1905,  I  met  Dick 
Whittier  just  as  he  was  coming  out  of  London  Tower  Gate. 
However,  after  about  four  months  abroad  I  was  glad  to  get 
back  to  the  port  of  Bridgeport,  where  I  hoped  I  would  be  able 
to  stay;  but  no  such  luck,  for  in  the  early  part  of  1907  I  was 
sent  to  a  branch  mill  of  the  Salts  Textile  Company  in  Philadel- 
phia, where  I  remained  all  summer,  after  which  I  came  back  to 
my  home  town.     I  have  now  settled  down  to  my  life's  work;   a

combination  of  chemistry  and  dyeing,  and  as  things  look  at 
present  I  expect  to  remain  in  Bridgeport  for  some  time  to  come. 
''Since  leaving  college  I  have  seen  very  few  of  the  fellows  of 
'05  S.,  those  I  remember  seeing — one  or  two  of  whom  I  was 
not  able  to  speak  with — are  Budge  Jennings,  G.  W.  Curtiss, 
Dolly  Gray,  General  Meade,  Johnnie  Comer,  Dick  Whittier, 
David  Henney  and  Dan  Davenport.  One  of  my  greatest  sor- 
rows since  leaving  New  Haven  was  that  I  was  unable  to  attend 
Triennial."

as  bank  runner  for  a  New  York  trust  company,  as  I  was  very 
anxious  to  become  a  New  York  banker.  But  after  three  months, 
not  having  become  a  millionaire,  I  went  with  the  American 
Smelting  &  Refining  Co.,  at  their  El  Paso,  Tex.,  smelting  works 
as  learner.  My  first  work  was  running  lines  with  the  draftsman 
for  a  new  Mexican  settlement  of  adobe  houses  near  the  works. 
I  put  in  about  a  month  between  the  drawing  room  and  outside 
work,  and  then  spent  three  months  in  the  sampling  works,  where

cans  in  our  settlement.  In  January,  1908,  the  hard  times  struck 
our  place  and  I  decided  to  come  out  by  mule  instead  of  part  mule 
and  part  stage.  I  started  with  two  mozos,  two  pack  mules  and 
a  saddle  animal  with  a  week's  supply  of  camp  goods.  The  first 
day  out  we  struck  blinding  snow  at  an  altitude  of  8,000  feet  and 
it  was  very  cold.  We  camped  out  two  nights,  riding  all  day 
over  the  range  in  snow,  on  the  second  day  reaching  9,200  feet 
and  on  the  third  day  out  dropping  into  warm  country  again,  after 
which  we  had  three  days  of  hot,  dusty  riding  over  narrow  trails. 
Finally  on  the  morning  of  the  seventh  day  we  reached  Minaca. 
I  went  into  Chihuahua  and  south  to  Torreon,  Coahuila,  stopping 
at  several  mining  camps  along  the  way;  then  carne  north  to 
Denver,  Colo.,  went  up  to  Colorado  Springs,  Cripple  Creek  and 
Boulder,  stopping  at  Pueblo  on  my  way  to  Denver,  and  then 
came  East.

County,  Ontario,  Canada,  in  charge  of  some  small  iron  mines.

August  25,  1906,  in  company  with  Spencer  Turner,  '06,  I  started 
on  a  long,  hot,  dirty  journey  to  a  place  called  Tallassee,  Ala., 
to  experiment  in  the  art  of  breathing  cotton  fibres  and  also  drink- 
ing muddy  water  (dry  town  otherwise)  and  incidentally  to  learn 
the  business  of  the  manufacture  of  cotton  duck.  Soon  after  our 
arrival  we  had  a  third  companion,  namely.  Discouragement,  from 
whom  we  were  only  saved  by  a  full  sense  of  humor  kicked  to 
life  at  all  hours  by  watching  each  other  in  such  wild  acts  as 
attempts  to  piece  up  ends  on  a  spinning  frame  while  being  shown 
the  correct  method  to  approach  the  thing  by  a  small  girl  we  were 
surprised  to  find  had  even  learned  to  talk.  After  this  the  point 
seemed  to  be  to  try  us  with  extremes  of  temperature,  for  after 
all  of  the  Southern  mills  we  found  ourselves  in  the  coldest  of 
January  in  Manchester,  N.  H.  We  were  then  sent  to  a  series  of 
places  until  learning  or  disgust  bore  too  heavily  on  us  and 
Spencer  Turner  surrendered  to  the  call  of  New  York — a  small 
town  I  have  heard  him  speak  of,  which  he  always  regretted 
exceedingly  he  could  not  take  along  with  him.  He  has  since 
been  in  the  selling  end  while  I  have  continued  in  the  manufactur- 
ing part  of  the  business.     About  October,   1908,  I  was  put  in

consecutive  mornings  for  every  week  of  many  weeks.  On  Sep-

of  his  machines,  and  on  that  date  I  entered  actively  into  business. 
Although  I  did  not  favor  the  sacrifice  at  the  time,  I  have  never 
regretted  this  step,  as  it  prepared  me  in  a  most  thorough  manner 
for  the  time  in  September,  1907,  when,  at  my  father's  death,  I 
found  myself  called  upon  to  take  charge  of  one  of  the  largest 
manufacturing  plants  in  this  country.  During  the  past  year 
[1908]  I  have  visited  most  of  the  important  cities  in  the  United 
States,  and  have  been  most  impressed  with  the  great  progress 
which  has  been  shown  by  our  western  cities,  especially  those 
situated  on  the  Pacific  coast,  and  in  Kansas  and  Texas."

He  prepared  at  the  Hartford  Public  High  School  and  entered  Sheff

equipped  a  small  laboratory,  which  has  grown  and  increased 
in  usefulness  each  year  until  it  is  now  one  of  the  regular  factory 
departments  of  the  company. 

"The  old  Class  must  have  separated  pretty  widely,  for  since 
entering  on  my  business  career  I  do  not  recall  having  met  any 
of  them. 

"The  only  societies  I  belong  to  are  the  American  Chemical 
Society,  and  the  Alumni  Association  of  the  Massachusetts  Insti-

MISCELLANY 

THE  HISTORY  OF  SHEFF  SINCE  1905 
By  Clifford  W.  Bates 

(With  a  statement  of  undergraduate  changes  added  by  the  Chairman  of 
the  Sheff  Student  Council  of  this  year.) 

The  most  notable  changes  in  Sheff  since  1905  are  those  in 
appearance,  and  these  shall  be  considered  first.  There  has  been 
one  large  addition  in  the  way  of  dormitories;  another  Sheff- 
Vanderbilt — The  Vanderbilt-Scientific  II,  as  it  is  officially  called — 
has  been  built  between  Byers  Hall  and  St.  Anthony's  Hall.  It  is 
a  building  of  the  same  general  appearance  as  the  first,  but  is 
only  about  half  as  large.  Architecturally  it  is  said  to  be  the 
most  beautiful  of  the  Yale  buildings.  The  dormitory  facilities 
have  also  been  increased  by  the  purchase  of  several  houses  on 
Grove  Street.  Nearly  the  whole  block  bounded  by  College, 
Grove,  Temple  and  Wall  streets  is  now  owned  by  the  Scientific 
School. 

Hammond  Mining  Laboratory,  which  was  started  before  we 
were  graduated,  has,  of  course,  been  finished,  and  has  been  used 
for  several  years.  The  congestion  of  recitations  in  North  Shef- 
field Hall  has  been  very  much  relieved  by  the  erection  of  Leet 
Oliver  Memorial  Hall,  which  was  given  by  Mrs.  James  B.  Oliver 
of  Pittsburg,  in  memory  of  her  son  who  was  killed  in  an  auto- 
mobile accident  while  an  undergraduate.  It  was  given  to  be 
used  for  the  Select  Course  subjects  (in  which  course  Oliver  was 
.studying)  and  the  languages.  It  is  located  on  Hillhouse  Avenue 
between  the  Biological  Laboratory  and  the  railroad  cut. 

Two  new  buildings  to  be  used  by  Sheff  are  being  erected: 
Sloane  Physics  Laboratory  and  Mason  Mechanical  Engineering 
Laboratory.  The  Mason  Laboratory  is  being  built  between 
St.  Mary's  Church  and  the  railroad  cut,  fronting  on  Hillhouse 
Avenue  and  running  through  to  Temple  Street.  About  a  quar- 
ter of  a  million  dollars  was  given  for  the  building,  equipment 


ipo  MISCELLANY 

and  endowment  of  the  building  by  Messrs.  George  G.  Mason 
and  William  S.  Mason  of  the  Class  of  1888  S.  The  departments 
of  Physics  in  Sheff  and  in  the  College  and  the  Graduate  School 
will  use  jointly  one  large  laboratory  for  advanced  physics,  the 
Sloane  Physics  Laboratory,  that  is  being  built  in  Pierson-Sage 
Square  (the  Hillhouse  estate),  the  price  of  the  land  having  been 
given  the  University  last  winter  by  Mrs.  Russell  Sage.  This 
property  comprises  nearly  the  whole  of  the  tract  of  land  bounded 
by  Whitney  Avenue,  Sachem,  Prospect  and  Edwards  streets. 
The  laboratory  is  being  erected  about  half  way  between  Sachem 
Street  and  Edwards  Street  and  on  the  side  toward  Prospect 
Street.  There  are  also  plans  for  the  erection  of  a  University 
Laboratory  of  Zoology  on  the  Pierson-Sage  Square. 

ADDITIONS  TO  THE   t"ACULTY 

Important  changes  in  the  Faculty  have  been  rather  few.  Pro- 
fessor C.  B.  Richards  left  two  years  ago  and  was  succeeded  by 
Professor  L.  P.  Breckenridge,  '81  S.,  who  formerly  taught  at 
the  University  of  Illinois,  a  brilliant  engineer  and  a  strong  man 
personally.  Professor  Ross  Harrison,  a  recently  appointed 
University  Professor  of  Comparative  Anatomy,  has  most  of  his 
work  in  Sheff,  and  his  influence  is  felt  there  very  strongly. 
Professor  J.  F.  McClelland  has  this  year  been  made  Professor 
of  Mining  Engineering.  In  the  Select  Course  there  have  been 
changes  of  which  I  think  the  most  important  is  the  addition  of 
Professor  W.  C.  Abbott  as  Professor  of  History. 

NUMERICAL   GROWTH 

Perhaps  the  most  striking  change  in  Sheff  in  the  last  five 
years  has  been  in  regard  to  the  number  of  students.  For  several 
years  the  entering  classes  have  averaged  about  400,  of  whom 
about  250  receive  their  diplomas  with  the  class  in  which  they 
enter.  The  graduate  students  in  Sheff  number  about  175  against 
about  100  when  we  were  undergraduates.  In  general  the 
increase  has  been  about  70  per  cent,  in  all  classes  and  in  the 
Faculty  as  well.  The  Faculty  increase  has  been  confined  almost 
entirely  to  the  instructors  and  assistants.

THE    SHEFF   EDUCATIONAL   POLICY 

No  article  on  the  history  of  Shefif  would  be  at  all  complete 
without  some  consideration  of  its  educational  policy.  Whether 
it  is  to  be  regarded  more  as  cause  or  effect,  it  is  impossible  to 
say,  but  the  fact  is  obvious  that  the  three-year  course  is  a 
dominating  influence  in  the  Sheff  teaching  policy.  Having  only 
three  years  in  which  to  teach  the  equivalent  of  four  years'  work 
in  other  colleges  means  one  of  two  things:  the  course  must  be 
shortened  by  omission  or  the  men  must  work  harder  to  make  up 
for  the  lost  time.  Here  at  Sheff  the  result  is,  I  think,  a  mean 
between  the  two  alternatives.  The  course  is  shortened  by  the 
omission  of  a  great  deal  of  laboratory  and  shop  work.  (I  am 
considering  more  especially  the  engineering  courses,  with  which 
I  am  most  familiar.)  It  has  always  been  an  open  question 
whether  a  man  needs  a  great  deal  along  that  line,  and  I  think 
that  Sheff  is  answering  that  question  in  the  negative  as  her 
graduates  go  out  into  the  professional  world  and  come  into 
competition  with  men  from  other  colleges  where  the  shop  work 
is  taught  and  they  make  good.  I  have  in  mind  several  cases  of 
men  in  our  own  Class  who  have  men  working  under  them  who 
graduated  several  years  before  our  classmates.  Now  why  is  it 
that  they  can  "make  good"?  It  is  just  because  the  Sheff  gradu- 
ate has  been  taught  ''why"  and  has  not  had  his  time  taken 
up  with  a  mass  of  detail  telling  him  "how."  The  Sheff  man 
is  taught  the  fundamentals  of  his  profession,  the  idea  being  that 
it  will  be  easy  for  him  to  pick  up  the  details  of  his  specialty 
afterward  if  he  has  the  root  or  foundation  thoroughly  in  his 
mind.  In  addition  to  the  above  idea,  it  has  also  been  the  aim 
of  the  School  to  give  in  some  degree  a  liberal  education. 

CHANGES   IN    UNDERGRADUATE   CONDITIONS 

The  two  most  important  changes  that  have  taken  place  in  the 
last  few  years  in  the  undergraduate  life  at  Sheff  are  first,  the 
formation  of  the  Student  Council,  and  second,  the  change  in  the 
society  system. 

The  Student  Council,  organized  last  year,  is  composed  of  fif- 
teen men,  one  from  each  of  the  seven  societies,  seven  non-society 


192  MISCELLANY 

men  and  the  president  of  the  Sheff  Y.  M.  C.  A.  A  glance  at 
some  of  the  important  results  obtained  by  the  Council  shows 
that  it  has  really  accomplished  a  great  deal  in  the  first  two  years 
of  its  existence.  The  Governing  Board  of  the  School  has 
accepted  its  recommendation  with  reference  to  excusing  high 
stand  men  from  examinations;  a  new  course  of  lectures,  inter- 
esting and  instructive,  has  been  secured  for  the  Freshmen ;  the 
Council  has  been  instrumental  in  having  the  approximate  grades 
put  on  report  cards ;  the  Council  adopted  a  new  method  for  the 
election  of  class  officers,  vice  presidents  of  athletic  associations 
and  all  other  officers  and  committees  except  Commencement  com- 
mittees. Under  this  new  system  the  names  of  the  candidates  for 
all  offices  are  listed  at  the  polls  in  view  of  the  voters  during  the 
primaries;  the  two  men  receiving  the  highest  number  of  votes 
at  the  primaries  are  voted  on  in  the  evening  at  the  finals  and 
the  one  receiving  the  largest  number  of  votes  at  the  finals  is 
elected.  A  mass  of  minor  matters  has  been  handled  by  the 
Council,  such  as  getting  slight  changes  made  in  recitation  and 
examination  schedules,  promoting  concerts  on  the  Sheff  campus 
and  helping  men  in  individual  cases.  Cordial  relations  have  been 
established  with  the  Yale  Daily  News.  The  News  is  and  always 
has  been  primarily  an  Academic  institution,  and  not  knowing 
our  problems  and  conditions,  they  cannot  write  of  us  intelligently 
or  sympathetically,  let  their  intentions  be  as  good  as  they  may. 
It  is  the  policy  of  the  News  now  to  consult  the  chairman  of  the 
Council  when  Sheff  questions  are  involved. 

The  new  society  system  had  its  first  try-out  this  year.  The 
idea  in  this  system  is  that  there  shall  be  no  Freshman  campaign- 
ing until  the  first  day  of  the  winter  term,  and  that  the  societies 
shall  not  give  to  nor  accept  from  the  members  of  the  Freshman 
Class  any  form  of  entertainment  except  in  the  society  houses 
and  then  only  at  the  time  of  the  receptions  in  the  winter  term. 

The  new  system  has  not  worked  to  the  satisfaction  of  all,  this 
fall,  and  there  is  a  pretty  general  feeling  that,  if  ultimately  suc- 
cessful, certain  conditions,  present  during  this  first  year,  will 
have  to  be  altered.  Public  opinion  and  custom  may  in  years  to 
come  effect  what  arbitrary  rules  fail  at  first  to  accomplish. 


ALUMNI  CLASS  FUNDS  i93 

THE   ALUMNI    FUND 

By  Lowell  M.  Clucas 

The  growth  and  progress  of  the  Yale  Alumni  University  Fund 
since  its  inception,  just  twenty  years  ago,  has  been  a  constant 
and  ever-increasing  source  of  gratification  to  the  founders  and 
everyone  interested  in  the  financial  up-building  of  Yale ;  in  fact, 
the  figures,  as  shown  below,  are  nothing  short  of  wonderful.  In 
1891  the  number  of  contributors  was  385  and  the  amount  con- 
tributed $11,015.08.  From  this  start,  the  annual  increase  in  both 
number  of  subscribers  and  amounts  subscribed  has  been  one  of 
steady  and  healthy  growth,  until  for  the  year  ending  June  30, 
1910,  the  figures  showed: 

Total  number  of  Yale  graduate  contributors  for  year  1909-10,  3,027. 
Total  amount  contributed  for  year  1909-10,  $143,750.48. 

The  Class  of  1905  S.  has  grown  from  23  subscribers  and 
$99.00  subscribed  in  1906,  to  35  subscribers  and  $229.00  given 
in  1910;  but  as  1907  and  1908  were  our  banner  years,  we  show 
a  grand  total  of  $997.50,  an  average  of  practically  $200.00  a  year. 

The  Alumni  University  Fund  was  established  in  1890  to  endea- 
vor to  meet  an  ever-increasing  annual  deficit  in  the  finances  of 
the  University,  and  differs  from  other  University  funds  in  the 
fact  that  its  management  is  in  the  hands  of  nine  graduates 
appointed  by  the  President  of  the  University  and  approved  by 
the  Corporation.  The  Treasurer  of  the  University  serves  as 
treasurer.  The  amounts  received  each  year  are  appropriated  in 
two  ways :  first  for  general  University  expenses,  as  for  example, 
in  meeting  a  deficit  of  any  department,  in  increasing  professors' 
salaries,  etc.,  but  without  distinction  as  to  department ;  secondly, 
for  addition  to  the  principal  of  the  Fund.  For  the  year  1910, 
the  net  receipts,  as  above  stated,  were  $143,7 c;o.48.  This  was 
divided  as  follows :  for  general  University  purposes,  $49,000.00 ; 
to  be  added  to  principal,  $94,750.48.  This  brings  the  total  prin- 
cipal of  the  Fund,  as  of  July  i,  1910,  up  to  $450,403.87.  The 
total  amount  of  contributions,  exclusive  of  that  added  to  prin- 


194  MISCELLANY 

cipal,  that  has  been  appropriated  as  income  for  University  run- 
ning expenses,  has  been  $330,763.18. 

Contributions  to  the  Fund  are  made  generally  through  the 
Class  Agents,  appointed  at  graduation  to  collect  from  the  Class, 
but  there  is  an  increasing  tendency  among  graduates,  as  the  pur- 
poses for  which  the  Fund  was  founded  are  becoming  more  gen- 
erally known,  to  make  special  donations,  either  to  principal  or 
for  income;  this  is  done  at  reunion  times,  by  will,  and  in  other 
ways,  and  is  especially  desirable,  inasmuch  as  most  of  the  gifts 
to  the  University  heretofore  have  been  designated  for  a  par- 
ticular purpose  and  therefore  not  applicable  to  general  expenses. 

Briefly,  the  Alumni  Fund  has  become  indispensable  to  the  Uni- 
versity and  as  the  vast  body  of  graduates  come  to  know  its  ideals 
and  purposes,  the  yearly  income  should  swell  until  a  large  major- 
ity have  become  regular  yearly  subscribers,  who  will  come  to 
consider  it  not  a  duty,  but  a  privilege,  to  be  a  member  of  such  a 
worthy  body.

STATISTICS 

On  the  following-  pages  are  some  brief  statistical  tabulations 
of  facts  recorded  in  the  biographies.  Graduate  members  only 
are  included  in  the  vital  and  occupation  statistics  while  in  the 
locality  index,  prepared  not  so  much  for  statistical  use  as  for 
handy  reference,  both  graduates  and  so  far  as  addresses  are 
known  non-graduates  as  well  are  included.  In  the  vital  and  occu- 
pation tables  care  has  been  taken  to  list  the  itemized  facts  under 
individual  names  so  making  it  possible  for  future  tabulators 
to  build  intelligently  on  these  facts  and  also  making  it  possible 
to  rectify  any  errors  in  the  compilation.  The  tabulations  include 
facts  so  far  as  reported  up  to  December  i,  19 lo. 

MARRIAGE  STATISTICS 

OF    GRADUATE    MEMBERS    ONLY 

In  the  following  table  are  given  the  names  of  those  graduate 
members  of  the  Class  of  1905  S.  who  on  December  i,  1910,  were 
reported  to  be  married ;  the  date  of  their  marriage,  their  approxi- 
mate age  at  marriage,  and  the  number  of  sons  and  daughters 
reported  born  to  each  up  to  the  same  date.  When  the  sex  of 
a  child  is  not  known  the  count  has  been  put  under  the  "boys" 
column  and  enclosed  in  parenthesis. 

It  will  be  noted  that  out  of  a  class  of  165  graduate  members, 
58  or  more  than  one-third  were  married  at  five  and  one-half 
years  after  graduation.  To  these  58  Benedicts  have  been  bom 
12  sons  and,  mirabile  dictii!  19  daughters;  while  two  children, 
with  sex  unreported,  bring  the  total  children  of  the  Class  on 
December  i,  1910,  to  33.

OCCUPATION  STATISTICS 

OF    GRADUATE    MEMBERS    ONLY 

In  the  following  paragraphs  under  each  occupation  are  listed 
the  men  now  engaged  in  it  (the  deceased  men  are  listed  in 
the  occupations  in  which  they  were  engaged  at  the  time  of  their 
death).  The  names  of  men  are  enclosed  in  parenthesis  under 
an  occupation  in  which  they  were  previously  engaged  or  in  which 
they  are  engaged  in  an  auxiliary  manner.  These  names  in  paren- 
thesis are  not  counted  in  the  totals.  The  occupation  divisions 
are  standard  except  that  a  special  classification  is  used  here 
called  ''mercantile  scientific"  for  those  men  who  are  engaged  in 
mercantile  firms  in  a  scientific  or  technical  capacity.  The  names 
of  the  individual  members  are  followed  by  the  abbreviated  name 
of  the  course  they  took  in  Sheff,  the  following  abbreviations 
being  used :  for  the  Select  Course,  Sel; .  for  Civil  Engineering,

The  above  table,  showing-  the  number  of  men  from  each  under- 
graduate course  that  have  gone  into  the  various  occupations,  has 
been  made  up  on  the  same  plan  as  similar  tables  in  the  '99  S. 
Decennial  Record  and  a  table  comprising  the  first  twenty  Sheff 
classes  pubHshed  in  the  Record  of  the  Classes  from  '68  S.  to 
y2  S.  The  table  is  interesting  in  itself  and  also  in  comparison 
with  the  similar  tables  of  other  classes.

STATISTICS 


A  marked  tendency  for  Sheff  graduates  to  go  into  other  than 
engineering  or  other  scientific  work  is  shown  by  all  these  tables. 
In  1905  S.  only  36  men,  or  less  than  22  per  cent,  of  the  Class, 
have  gone  into  engineering,  and  only  24  more  into  work  of  even 
a  partially  scientific  character,  included  in  the  table  under  the 
heading  "Mercantile  Scientific,"  that  is,  scientific  or  technical 
employment  in  a  mercantile  concern. 

Those  who  took  the  Select  Course  have  avoided  scientific 
careers  as  carefully  as  they  avoided  scientific  studies  as  under- 
graduates is  shown  by  this  and  the  similar  tables  in  other  classes. 
In  general  the  students  of  the  Select  and  Biological  courses 
seemed  to  choose  their  courses  with  some  reference  to  their  after 
careers ;  those  taking  the  courses  in  Engineering,  Metallurgy, 
Chemistry  and  Forestry  in  general  show  less  connection  between 
their  undergraduate  courses  and  their  present  occupations. 

It  is  worthy  of  note  that  no  graduate  of  1905  S.  has  gone  into 
the  ministry  nor  yet  into  pure  science. 


LOCALITY  INDEX 

INCLUDING  BOTH    GRADUATES   AND   NON-GRADUATES 

In  the  following  table  the  states  and  cities  within  states  are 
arranged  in  alphabetical  order,  and  the  addresses  are  chosen 
with  a  view  to  giving  the  most  accessible  one  in  each  individual 
case,  rather  than  consistently  to  give  either  business  or  residence 
address.  A  tabulation  of  the  number  of  men  in  each  state  fol- 
lows this  index.  Cross  reference  from  this  index  to  the  "Roll 
of  the  Class"  following  should  prove  a  most  convenient  means  of 
discovering  classmates  in  any  given  section  of  the  country.
